Why do raindrops fall in spheres?? I know it is due to surface tension but i have doubt that does it form sphere or aerodynamic due to reduce air resistance?

Solution

The only reason for the spherical shape of rain drop is that each drop tends to acquire minimum surface area due to surface tension, and for a given volume, the surface area of sphere is minimum.

SCENE I. Venice. A street.

Enter ANTONIO, SALARINO, and SALANIO

ANTONIO

In sooth, I know not why I am so sad:
It wearies me; you say it wearies you;
But how I caught it, found it, or came by it,
What stuff 'tis made of, whereof it is born,
I am to learn;
And such a want-wit sadness makes of me,
That I have much ado to know myself.

What does the line 'Enter Antonio, Salarino and Salanio' indicate?

In the word pseudopodia the letter p is silent but I want to know why do we use silent letter.

I know that silent letter is a part of English but I got this in mind and I have tried to ask my teacher but even my teacher don't know.

So can I get answer from byjus
