When it is raining, it is not advised to resist water drops falling on the tent from inside the tent. Explain Why?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

In the absence of external forces, the surface tension binds the molecules within a spherical drop which rolls away from the surface of the tent. Water drops break down and wet the tent
when water drops are resisted on falling on the tent.
