  1. Question 1

    Q1. The spherical shape of a small drop of rain is due to:

    • A) Viscosity
    • B) Surface tension
    • C) Atmospheric pressure
    • D) Gravity

    Answer: Surface tension

    Explanation: Surface tension acts to minimize the surface area of a liquid drop; a sphere has the minimum surface area for a given volume, so drops naturally form spherical shapes.
