Which of the following is a result of Surface tension ?
A. Gravitational pull
B. Viscosity
C. Capillary action
D. Radiation
Answer: Option C
Solution (By Examveda Team)
Capillary action is the result of adhesion and surface tension. Adhesion of water to the walls of a vessel will cause an upward force on the liquid at the edges and result in a meniscus which turns upward. The surface tension acts to hold the surface intact, so instead of just the edges moving upward, the whole liquid surface is dragged upward.This Question Belongs to General Knowledge >> Physics
