The property of surface tension of the liquid is due to:

1. the gravitational force of attraction between the molecules.
2. the cohesive forces between the molecules.
3. the adhesive force between the molecules.
4. the formation of ionic bonds between the molecules.

There are four cylindrical vessels identical in dimensions. If these are filled with equal masses of four different liquids \(P, Q, R\) and\( S\) such that their densities are \(\rho_P>\rho_Q>\rho_R>\rho_S, \) then the pressure at the base of the vessel will be:
1. \(P_P=P_Q=P_R=P_S\) 2. \(P_P>P_Q>P_R>P_S\)
3. \(P_P<P_Q<P_R<P_S\) 4. The data is insufficient to predict the relation

The reading of a spring balance when a block is suspended from it in the air is 60 N. This reading is changed to 40 N when the block is submerged in water. The specific gravity of the block, therefore, must be:
1. 3
2. 2
3. 6
4. 3/2
