A mercury drop does not spread on a glass plate because the angle of contact between glass and mercury is

Water rises up in a glass capillary upto a height of 9.0cm , while mercury falls down by 3.4 cm in the same capillary. Assume angles of contact for water glass and mercury glass 0^(@) and 135^(@) respectively. Determine the ratio of surface tension of mercury and water (cos 135^(@)=-0.71) .

Water rises up in a glass capillary upto a heigh 10 cm, while mercury falls down by 3.5 cm in the same capillary. If the angles of contact for water-glass and mercury-glass are taken as 0^(@) and 135^(@) respectively, compare the surface tensions of water and mercury. [Given density of water = 10^(3) kg m^(-3) , density of mercury = 13.6 xx 10^(3) kg m^(-3) ]

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

The angle of contact of mercury glass surface is

Explain why (a). The angle of contact of mercury with galss is obtuse, while that of water with glass is acute. (b). Water on a clean glass surface tends to spread out while mercury on the same surface tends to form drops. (Put differently, water wets glass while mercury does not). (c). Surface tension of a liquid is independent of the area of the surface (d). Water with detergent disolved in it should have small angles of contact. (e). A drop of liquid under no external forces is always spherical in shape.

The angle of contact at the interface of water glass is 0^(@) ethylalcohol-glass is 0^(@) mercury glas is 140^(@) and methyliodide-glass is 30^(@) A glass capillary is put in a through containing one of these four liquids. It is observed that the meniscus is convex. The liquid in the through is

The tube of a mercury barometer is 1 cm is diameter. What correction dur to capillarity is to be applied to the barometric reading if the surface tension of mercury is 435.5 dyn/cm and the angle of contact of mercury with glass is 140^(@) ?
