Assertion: If an object is submerged in fluid at rest, the fluid exerts a force on its surface.
Reason: Force exerted by the fluid at rest has to be parallel to the surface in contact with it.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: C
If assertion is true but reason is false
Option C (Assertion is true but reason is false) is correct because the fluid exerts a force on the surface, but this force is perpendicular, not parallel.

Given below are two statements:

Statement-I: When a capillary tube is dipped into a liquid, the liquid neither rises nor falls in the capillary. The contact angle may be 0∘.0^{\circ}.

Statement-II: The contact angle between a solid and a liquid is a property of the material of the solid and liquid as well.

In the light of above statement, choose the correct answer from the options given below.
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
Statement-I is false but Statement-II is true
Option A is correct. Statement-I is false because the liquid will rise or fall depending on the contact angle, and Statement-II is true because the contact angle depends on the materials of the solid and liquid.
