Correct Answer - Option 1 : surface tension of water

The correct answer is the surface tension of water.

  • A shaving brush is dipped in water, when taken out the hairs of the brush are seen to be drawn together due to surface tension.
    • This happens because the free surface of water tries to acquire a minimum surface area.
  • Surface tension is the property of the surface of a liquid that allows it to resist an external force, due to the cohesive nature of the water molecules.
  • Newton Per Meter (N/m) is a unit in the category of Surface tension.

  • The viscosity of water is 1.0016 millipascals⋅second at 20 °C.
    • That is for its dynamic viscosity.
    • Water viscosity varies depending on its temperature, and the higher the temperature is, the less viscous water is.
    • At a molecular level, viscosity is a result of the interaction between the different molecules in a fluid.
