A mercury drop shaped as a round tablet of radius R and thickness h is located between two horizontal glass plates. Assuming that h

Explain Why a) The angle of contact of mercurywith glass is obtuse, while that of water with glass is acute. b) Water on a 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 conatct. d) A drop of liquid under no external forces is always spherical in shape.
