A cylindrical tube, with its base as shown in the figure, is filled with water. It is moving down with a constant acceleration $a$ along a fixed inclined plane with angle $\theta=45^{\circ} . P_1$ and $P_2$ are pressures at points 1 and 2 , respectively, located at the base of the tube. Let $\beta=\left(P_1-P_2\right) /(\rho g d)$, where $\rho$ is density of water, $d$ is the inner diameter of the tube and $g$ is the acceleration due to gravity. Which of the following statement($s$) is(are) correct?

$(A)$ $\beta=0$ when $a= g / \sqrt{2}$

$(B)$ $\beta>0$ when $a= g / \sqrt{2}$

$(C)$ $\beta=\frac{\sqrt{2}-1}{\sqrt{2}}$ when $a= g / 2$

$(D)$ $\beta=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$ when $a= g / 2$
