Why low surface tension is required? Please explain in detail.

Manometer liquid should have high density and low vapour pressure.

Vijay rajput said:   7 years ago
High density is the correct.

Rinku Meena said:   8 years ago
High density is correct.

Nitin dhasmana said:   8 years ago
Then why we use mercury as a manometric fluid?

I think the given answer is correct.

Durugappa said:   8 years ago
It should low surface tension.

C.r.meena said:   8 years ago
High density is the correct answer.

Rajasekhar said:   8 years ago
Higher surface tension enables less wetting of the tube and so these type of liquids are desirable in manimeters.

@Vinit.

Non-wetting and low surface tension are contradictory.

Yogendra said:   8 years ago
Why high surface tension required?
