Best Answer

water exerts two types of force cohesive and adhesive force.Cohesive force exist between water molecules and adhesive force exist between water and other objects.therefore when our hand is dipped in water the adhesive force overtakes the cohesive force and thus water sticks to hand.Its same as the capillarity principle
