  • A/RmediumProperties of solid and fluid

    Choose the correct option for the following Assertion (A) and Reason (R).

    Assertion

    Small liquid drops are approximately spherical when strong external forces such as gravity are negligible.

    Reason

    For a fixed volume, a sphere has the minimum surface area, and surface tension tends to minimize surface energy.
