A certain number of spherical drops of a liquid of radius \({r}\) coalesce to form a single drop of radius \({R}\) and volume \({V}\). If \({T}\) is the surface tension of the liquid, then:

1. energy \(= 4{VT}\left( \frac{1}{{r}} - \frac{1}{{R}}\right)\) is released.
2. energy \(={ 3{VT}\left( \frac{1}{{r}} + \frac{1}{{R}}\right)}\) is released.
3. energy \(={ 3{VT}\left( \frac{1}{{r}} - \frac{1}{{R}}\right)}\) is released.
4. energy is neither released nor absorbed.

The wettability of a surface by a liquid depends primarily on:
1. surface tension.
2. density.
3. angle of contact between the surface and the liquid.
4. viscosity.
