As shown in the figure,a liquid is at the same level in both arms of a $U$-tube of uniform cross-section when at rest. If the $U$-tube moves with an acceleration '$f$' towards the right,the difference between the liquid heights in the two arms of the $U$-tube will be (acceleration due to gravity $= g$):

  • A
    $\frac{f}{g} a$
  • B
    $\frac{g}{f} a$
  • C
    $a$
  • D
    $\frac{f a}{g}$

Two identical cylindrical vessels with their bases at the same level each contain a liquid of density $\rho$. The height of the liquid in one vessel is ${h_1}$ and that in the other vessel is ${h_2}$. The area of either base is $A$.
