A water tank is being towed on an uphill road that makes 14^(@) with the horizontal with a constant acceleration of 3.5m/s^(2) in the direction of motion.Determine the angle the free surface of water makes with the horizontal.What would your answer be if the direction of motion were downward on the same road with the same acceleration?
