Coatings used on raincoat are waterproof because they
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
increases angle of contact
Option A (increases angle of contact) is correct because waterproof coatings increase the angle of contact between the water and the surface, causing the water to bead up and roll off instead of spreading.

Given below are two statements:
Statement I: The contact angle between a solid and a liquid is a property of the material of the solid and liquid as well.

Assertion: At depth hh below the water surface pressure is pp. Then at depth 2h2 h pressure will be 2p2 p. (Ignore density variation).

Reason: With depth pressure increases linearly.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
If Assertion is false but the Reason is true
Option D is correct because pressure increases linearly with depth, but the total pressure is the sum of atmospheric pressure and the pressure due to the water column, so doubling the depth does not double the total pressure.
