Mercury in free surface means it takes convex shape. So, B is the right answer.

Sadulla said:   7 years ago
If it's convex means curved upward.

Vaish said:   6 years ago
The convexity upward.

The bent portion will be an upside.

So, the curve upward is the right option.

Muhammad Saqib said:   6 years ago
I think it should be option B, because cohesion is more than adhesion, same as a case in water.

Tanmoy Karmakar said:   6 years ago
B is the correct.

Curved Upward because mercury has a high cohesive value than adhesion.

The meniscus is upper i.e, the surface curves downwards.

Dipu said:   5 years ago
B will be the correct answer.

Right answer is Option C.

Because : when adhesion force is less than the cohesion force, liquid gather into droplet. For Ex (Mercury).

Cohesion>Adhesion, Top surface of mercury is convex & mercury fall in the capillary tube.
