What does adhesion produce an effect of when you place a straw in a liquid?
Adhesion produces the effect of capillary action when a straw is placed in liquid. Capillary action is liquid's ability to flow in narrow spaces without external forces like gravity.
What is a capillary melting point?
The sample is placed in a sealed capillary and heated up to the melting.
Part of a pencil that is placed in a glass of water appears bent in relation to the part of the pencil that extends out of the water What is this phenomenon called?
Caused by refraction. The same effect causes a depth of water to be smaller than it really is.
What is continuous force?
Definition: A motion or action given or placed upon and object. Example: Gravity

Why does a stalk of celery wilt when placed in a glass of salt water?
Because of something called capillary action. Capillary action is the tendency of water to move upward in a capillary or thin tube, it's the same reason as to why when placed in a solution of water and red dye, the celery will turn red as well. The action causes the celery to absorb the salt water into it thouroghly and thus, it wilts.
What is a capillary melting point?

How water rises in capillary tubes?
Due to surface tension of water the component T cos @ acting all along the circumference of the capillary tube 2 pi r would get added as 2 pi r T cos@. Here @ is the angle of contact of water with the material of the tube ie glass. Hence this uplifts the water to a height till its weight gets balanced by 2 pi r T cos@.
Why does mercury fall downwards and water rise upwards when placed in a capillary tube?
Mercury is more dense than water.
Where is a Combat Action Tourniquet placed on a injury?

A straw placed in a clear glass of water appears to break at the waters surface. Which explains this effect?
Refraction... The change in the density of the medium (from water to air) - causes the straw to appear to be bent.
