Surface Tension and Viscosity: Practice Problem & Solution

The wettability of a surface by a liquid depends primarily on: (2013)
Angle of contact between the surface and the liquid
Viscosity
Surface tension
Density

Solution Explained:

To solve this problem, we apply the core principles of Surface Tension and Viscosity. Understanding the underlying formula is key to arriving at the correct answer below:

Wettability directly depends on the angle of contact. If the angle is acute, the liquid wets the solid; if it is obtuse, it does not wet the solid.
