Question
If the angle of contact between a liquid and solid (a) is less than $90^{\circ} $ (b) is more than $90^{\circ} $ then would the liquid wet the solid? What will be its surface in a capillarly tube made from the solid? Will it rise in the capillary tube?

Answer

(a) It will wet, concave, will rise.
(b) It will not wet, convex, will not rise but fall down.
