| Q. |
Water drops are spherical because of - |
| A. | viscosity |
| B. | density |
| C. | polarity |
| D. | surface tension |
| Answer» D. surface tension | |
|
Explanation: Surface tension is responsible for the shape of liquid droplets. Although easily deformed, droplets of water tend to be pulled into a spherical shape by the cohesive forces of the surface layer. In the absence of other forces, including gravity, drops of virtually all liquids would be approximately spherical. |
