Consider a liquid contained in a vessel. The liquid solid adhesive force is very weak as compared to the cohesive force in the liquid. The shape of the liquid surface near the solid shall be

A

Horizontal

B

Almost vertical

C

Concave

D

Convex

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Cohesive force `gt` Adhesive force, so shape of liquid surface near the solid would be convex.
For examples mecury surface in glass capillary is convex.
