- 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.
