If cohesion between the molecules of a fluid is more than adhesion between the fluid and glass, the free level of fluid in a dipped glass tube will be
higher than the surface of liquid
same as the surface of liquid
lower than the surface of liquid
none of these.

Cohesion is defined as the attraction between molecules of the same liquid whereas, adhesions mean the attraction between molecules of liquid.

Cohesion is greater than adhesion like in mercury and glass interface.

They are asking for a rise or fall in the tube, not about curved surface of fluid inside the tube. Since its mercury, therefore, there will be depression. Hence given answer is correct.

C is correct.

Because, question ask the level of fluid in a tube with respect to the level of Container and this is lower because of cohesion> adhesion.

Thanks.

Adhesion between molecules of fluid is greater than the adhesion between fluid and glass then the free level of fluid in glass tube dipped in glass vessel will be.

Here, It is asked with respect to free level. So given option is correct.

They say the free level of liquid, free level lies below the top level.

Adhesion >cohesion - water.

Adhesion <cohesion - mercury.

Surface will be curved upward (mercury).

Higher than the surface of liquids.

Rakesh said:   8 years ago
The Surface will be upward curved.
