Anjana Sharma answered |
When liquid molecules are attracted strongly to themselves and weakly to those of solids, it costs lots of energy to create liquid-solid surface and liquid then does not wet the solid.
For Example:
Mercury molecules (which make an obtuse angle with glass) have a strong force of attraction between themselves and a weak force of attraction toward solids. Hence, they tend to form drops.
On the other hand, water molecules make acute angles with glass. They have a weak force of attraction between themselves and a strong force of attraction toward solids. Hence, they tend to spread out.

Pooja Shah answered |
The force acting on this line is proportional to the length of this line. If l is the length of imaginary line and F the total force on either side of the line then,
F∝l
⇒ F=Sl
Or, surface tension, S=force/length
From this expression, Surface tension can be defined as the force acting per unit length of an imaginary line drawn on the liquid surface, the direction of force being perpendicular to this line and tangential to the liquid surface.it is denoted by S and it is a scalar quantity.

Ambition Institute answered |
Excess pressure inside a cavity or air bubble in liquid formula
P[excess] = P[inside] - P [outside]
P [outside] =P[atm]
P[inside]= P[atm] +hpg [here p represents density] +2T/R
P[excess] = P[atm] +hpg [here p represents density] +2T/R-P[atm]
P[excess] = hpg+2T/R
Now substitute value for T
P[excess] = hpg+2S/R
Hence C is correct.
P[excess] = P[inside] - P [outside]
P [outside] =P[atm]
P[inside]= P[atm] +hpg [here p represents density] +2T/R
P[excess] = P[atm] +hpg [here p represents density] +2T/R-P[atm]
P[excess] = hpg+2T/R
Now substitute value for T
P[excess] = hpg+2S/R
Hence C is correct.

When wetting agents like soap or dyes are added to water, the angle of contact becomes small. This happens so that the particles penetrate well and become effective.

The angle should be obtuse.... cuz at this angle, the liquid surface moves away from the solid surface and hence cannot wet the solid.

Arun Khanna answered |
Plants use capillary action to bring water from the soil up through capillaries, small tubes in the plants, to the rest of the plant. Due to gravity, capillary action is not strong enough for the water to travel to the top of the plant. Another process, transpiration pull does the rest of the work.

Adaeze Igwe answered |
Explanation:
Diffusion is the process by which particles move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. In the case of a droplet of ink spreading in a glass of water, this is a classic example of diffusion.
Key Points:
- When the ink is dropped into the water, the ink particles are initially concentrated in one area.
- As time passes, the ink particles spread out and mix with the water molecules, moving from an area of higher concentration (the droplet) to an area of lower concentration (the rest of the water).
- This movement of particles from an area of high concentration to low concentration is known as diffusion.
- Eventually, the ink particles will be evenly distributed throughout the water, showing the completion of the diffusion process.
Therefore, option 'A' (A droplet of ink spreading in a glass of water) is an example of diffusion as it demonstrates the movement of particles from an area of higher concentration to lower concentration.

Force due to surface tension acts all along the circumference of the circular plate. Therefore, force required to take away of plate is,
F = T x 2πr = 70 x 2 x 3.14 x 4 = 1758.4 dyne/cm

If drops and bubbles do not collapse under the effect of gravity, it indicates that the pressure inside the drop is greater than the pressure outside. The greater inner pressure prevents the drop from collapsing.
