Angle of contact

Angle of contact .

Assertion: Pressure on the concave side of the liquid will be greater than pressure on the convex side if the liquid surface is curved. Reason: Excess pressure depends on the angle of contact of the liquid surface with the solid surface.

The angle of contact for a liquid which wets the surface of a solid is

Angle of contact depends on

does angle of contact depends on the inclination of the solid surface to the liquid surface.

The value of the angle of contact for pure water and mercury with the surface of glass respectively-

Assertion : The angle of contact of a lilquid with a solid decreases with increase in temperature. Reason : With increase in temperature, the surface tension of the liquid increases.

Surface tension arises from the cohesive force between the surface molecules. Interplay between cohesion and adhesion force make the surface inclined at acute or obtuse angle with the contacting solid surfaces. This causes a capillary rise (or fail) given as h=(2Tcostheta)/(rhogr) , where theta= angle of contact T= surface tension rho= density of the liquid, g= acceleration due to gravity and r= radius of the capillary tube. Q. In capillary action theta can be:
