उत्तर
The angle of contact at the interface of water-glass is 0°, Ethylalcohol-glass is 0°, Mercury-glass is 140° and Methyliodide-glass is 30°. A glass capillary is put in a trough containing one of these four liquids. It is observed that the meniscus is convex. The liquid in the trough is mercury.
Explanation:
The meniscus of liquid is convex so the angle of contact will be the obtuse angle that happens in the case of mercury glass.
