Question

The property of a fluid which enables it to resist tensile stress is known as
1. Compressibility
2. Surface tension
3. Cohesion
4. Adhesion

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 3 : Cohesion

The property of the surface of a liquid that allows it to resist an external force, due to the cohesive nature of its molecules. The cohesive forces between liquid molecules are responsible for the phenomenon known as surface tension.
