Oil flows upward in the wick of a lantern because of the liquid property called A viscosity B capillarity C meniscusity D density?

B. Capillarity. Capillarity is the ability of a liquid to flow in narrow spaces without the assistance of external forces, such as gravity. This property explains why oil moves upward in a wick against the force of gravity.


What happens to the surface of a liquid when poured into a graduated cylinder?

When a liquid is poured into a graduated cylinder, its surface forms a meniscus due to the interplay of cohesive and adhesive forces. The liquid tends to cling to the walls of the cylinder, causing the surface to curve upward at the edges. This curvature can be concave or convex, depending on the liquid and the cylinder material, but for most liquids like water, it is usually concave. The height of the liquid at the meniscus is used for accurate measurements.


Compare the magnitudes of dipole-dipole forces between particles of a substance in the liquid state to the gaseous state?

In a liquid forces are stronger.


What cause capillary action?

There are following forces- Adhesive force between solid-liquid interface Cohesive force of liquids (consider water-oil system in a glass tube) The adhesive force between water and tube is greater than that of oil and tube because water is wetting fluid here. The surface tension of water is larger than that of oil. This imbalance in forces across the water-oil interface cause the upward motion of interface


What comes before on a surface of a the liquid?

Before a liquid appears on a surface, the molecules of the liquid are typically attracted to each other due to cohesive forces. As the liquid is introduced to the surface, it spreads out or forms droplets depending on the surface tension and the adhesive forces between the liquid and the surface. The interactions between these forces determine whether the liquid will wet the surface or bead up.

The relationship between the upward and downward forces exerted on an object in a liquid is called?

buoyancy


The relationship between the upward and downward forces exerted in liquids is given by the liquid's what?

A liquid's buoyancy is determined by its specific gravity (density).


What forces the liquid upward in a straw?

The pressure difference between the atmosphere and inside the straw causes the liquid to be pushed upward. When you create a low pressure by sucking on the straw, the higher air pressure outside the straw pushes the liquid up to equalize the pressure difference.


What are two forces acting on a bubble as it rises through a liquid?

Two forces acting on a bubble as it rises through a liquid are buoyancy force, which pushes the bubble upward due to the difference in density between the bubble and the liquid, and drag force, which resist the movement of the bubble through the liquid by frictional resistance.


When a body is immersed in a liquid name the two forces acting on it and state their direction of action?

The two forces acting on a body immersed in a liquid are buoyant force (upward direction) and gravitational force (downward direction). Buoyant force acts in the opposite direction to the gravitational force.

What is the upward force of an object in a liquid called?

The upward force of an object in a liquid is called buoyancy. This force occurs due to the difference in pressure between the top and bottom of the object immersed in the liquid.
