MCQ
Three surfaces of liquid are shown here. Find the correct statements
  • A
    the surface tension of liquid $A$ is infinite and such a surface is not possible practically
  • B
    in case of liquid $B$ , the resultant force on a molecule on the surface would be downward, and the surface is concave
  • in case of liquid $C$ , the resultant force due to surface tension is directed downwards
  • D
    the surfaces of all three liquids $A, B$ and $C$ are in equilibrium and so the net force due to surface tension is the same

Answer

Correct option: C.
in case of liquid $C$ , the resultant force due to surface tension is directed downwards
c
