Answer» (a) Drops of liquid assume spherical shape on falling due to surface tension. Liquid tends to have a minimum surface area because of surface tension, so, the small drops of liquid are spherical. (b) Viscosity of a liquid decreases with rise in temperature because force required to maintain the flow decreases due to increase in velocity. |
