How to Evaluate Slope of Isobar?

Slope of Isobar evaluator uses Slope of Isobar = -(Acceleration in X Direction/([g]+Acceleration in Z Direction)) to evaluate the Slope of Isobar, The Slope of Isobar formula is defined as the function of Acceleration on both x and z direction, gravitational acceleration and distance of the point from origin in x direction. Thus we conclude that the isobars (including the free surface) in an incompressible fluid with constant acceleration in linear motion are parallel surfaces whose slope is in the xz-plane. The free surface of such a fluid is a plane surface, and it is inclined unless ax = 0 (the acceleration is in the vertical direction only). Also, conservation of mass, together with the assumption of incompressibility (𝜌 = constant), requires that the volume of the fluid remain constant before and during acceleration. Therefore, the rise of fluid level on one side must be balanced by a drop of fluid level on the other side. This is true regardless of the shape of the container, provided that the liquid is continuous throughout the container. Slope of Isobar is denoted by S symbol.
