change in pressure in x direction similar to in Y direction
PA​=0
PB​=fa0​L
So,
Height of liquid in B=fgH=PB​
=fgH=fa0​L
H=ga0​L​

When any liquid is accelerated with an acceleration, then the pressure difference is given by the Formula,
 P₂ - P₁ = ρla
where ρ is the density of the fluid, and l is the distance between two vertical limbs of the container and a is the acceleration.
Therefore, In the Given case,
   P₂ - P₁ = ρla₀    [∵ a₀ is the acceleration is horizontal direction.]
Now, We know, Pressure difference has one more formula,
P₂ - P₁ = hρg
where ρ is the density of the fluid and h is the height difference between a pressure P₂ and Pressure P₁.
Equation both the equation,
   hρg = ρla₀
   hg = la₀
∴ h = la₀/g

Hence, the difference in heights of the liquid in two arms is la₀/g.
