← ScienceWhich consequence occurs to pressure readings when accelerating a closed water tank?
A)Uniform increase throughout the tank
B)Pressure gradient appears along acceleration✓
C)Reduced hydrostatic at center
D)Transient pressure waves are generated
💡 Explanation
A pressure gradient develops during acceleration due to the equivalence principle; inertial force becomes equivalent to a gravitational field, therefore the pressure increases in the direction opposing acceleration, rather than producing spatially uniform changes or waves.
