Why does the water surface is not inclined(for a glass of water kept on a table)?

Answer 1

a liquid will remain level even though it's container is tilted...

Answer 2

Pressure is equal at all points at the same level.
A glass filled with water is acted upon by atmospheric pressure equally distributed at all points at the water surface thats why even you tilt the glass water will seek its level.

Try to push a point on the surface of water by your finger. At first your finger will exert a pressure on the surface of water and then as your finger go deeper and deeper water level will increase.

Now put a straw. Suck the straw so that you could create a vacuum. There will be a differential pressure between the water that is trapped inside the straw and around the straw so the water level in straw increase as you suck the straw while water level is decreasing.

Its all about pressure and compressibility man.

Answer 3

surface tension force and gravity are applying in the same direction donw towards ground thus the water is spread rather in the form of droplet . as each molecule force others and at the same time want to be in less potential area. Unlike the case with the free falling water there the Surface tension force try to tide all particals together thus the least surface is possible by the shape of sphare and the water partical try to fall as sphare only but due to gravity the shape is somewhat eliptical .

Answer 4

I don't think so that it depends so much on pressure.For example, suppose in space u bring a glass of water, will it remain leveled bcoz inside the spacecraft there is still uniform pressure isn't it?But no it ill fly out of the glass.
Acc to me, its a spec. prop. of fluids. Earth applies a gravitational force to all particles.Fluid's molecules are quite free and hence come under the influence of gravity.Now, applying the basic law of nature .i.e. " everything in universe tends to attain minimum enegy". in case of glass of water, minimum gravitaional potential energy is possible if it is at min. height from the ground level. So ,on an avg. the water molecules arrange each other in such a way that their avg. energy is minimum.And this type of configuration is possible only if they remain levelled.

Answer 5

its due to force balance..

gravitational force +
pressure on the surface of the liquid.

if pressure on surface is same through out it will have same level. Gravity keeps the water down and inside the glass

Answer 6

i cannot get your question correctly add some more

Answer 7

he
no idea man

Answer 8

what the F are you asking.

Answer 9

try asking a diffrent wat i have no idea what you are talking about
