$(i)$ The cohesive force between the molecules of liquid is more than the adhesive force between the molecules of the plate, then the angle of contact obtained is ...... (acute/obtuse) and the free surface has a shape of ...... (concave/convex).
$(ii)$ The cohesive force between the molecules of liquid is less than the adhesive force between the molecules of the plate, then the angle of contact obtained is ...... (acute/obtuse) and the free surface has a shape of ...... (concave/convex).
$(iii)$ $A$ large pressure is exerted on the surface of a liquid having a shape of .......... (concave/convex).

$(ii)$ The cohesive force between the molecules of liquid is less than the adhesive force between the molecules of the plate, then the angle of contact obtained is ...... (acute/obtuse) and the free surface has a shape of ...... (concave/convex).
$(iii)$ $A$ large pressure is exerted on the surface of a liquid having a shape of .......... (concave/convex).
(D) $(i)$ When cohesive force $ > $ adhesive force, the liquid does not wet the surface. The angle of contact is obtuse $( > 90^{\circ})$ and the meniscus is convex.
$(ii)$ When cohesive force $ < $ adhesive force, the liquid wets the surface. The angle of contact is acute $( < 90^{\circ})$ and the meniscus is concave.
$(iii)$ Due to surface tension, the pressure on the concave side is always greater than the pressure on the convex side. Therefore, a large pressure is exerted on the concave side of the liquid surface.

View SolutionThe vertical limbs of a $U$ shaped tube are filled with a liquid of density $\rho$ up to a height $h$ on each side. The horizontal portion of the $U$ tube having length $2h$ contains a liquid of density $2\rho$. The $U$ tube is moved horizontally with an acceleration $g/2$ parallel to the horizontal arm. The difference in heights in liquid levels in the two vertical limbs,at steady state,will be:
Given below are two statements:
Statement $I$: Pressure of fluid is exerted only on a solid surface in contact as the fluid-pressure does not exist everywhere in a still fluid.
Statement $II$: Excess potential energy of the molecules on the surface of a liquid, when compared to interior, results in surface tension.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below.
