Problem

A water tank is mounted on a cart moving with a horizontal acceleration a=10 m/s2a = 10\,\text{m/s}^{2}. A wooden block is tied to the bottom of the tank with a string. In equilibrium (relative to the cart), the water surface is tilted. Find the angle the string makes with the vertical. (Take g=10 m/s2g = 10\,\text{m/s}^{2}).
