Q1:

Weber number is the ratio of inertia force to

A surface tension

B gravitational force

C elasticity

D viscosity.

ANS:A - surface tension

Weber number (We) is the ratio of inertia force to surface tension force. It is defined as: We = Inertia forceSurface / tension force Inertia force typically refers to the force associated with the momentum of a fluid, while surface tension force is the force due to the cohesive nature of molecules at the surface of a liquid.
