A shot is obtained by pouring molten lead through narrow holes into water from certain height. The falling lead solidifies and takes the form of small spheres, Explain the phenomenon.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The molten lead comes out of a narrow hole in the form of a fine stream. When it falls from a height into a vessel containing cold water, it breaks into sphereical drops due to thrust of water and surfaces tension. These are cooled on entering the water and thus solidify into small spheres.
