उत्तर
Given : Weight of a stone F = 500 No
Area A = 25 cm2 = 25 x 10-4 m2
To find : Pressure P = ?
Formula :
Pressure P = `F/A`
= `500/25xx10`-4
Solution: Pressure P = 20 x 104N/m2 (or) 20 x 104 Pa

Draw a neat labelled diagram showing forces acting on the meniscus of water in a capillary tube.
Explain why Water on a clean 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.)
