Small droplets of liquid are usually more spherical in shape than larger drops of the same liquid because
- force of surface tension is equal and opposite to the force of gravity
- force of surface tension predominates the force of gravity
- force of gravity predominates the force of surface tension
- force of gravity and force of surface tension act in the same direction and are equal
Answer
(B) force of surface tension predominates the force of gravity
