Why is pressure on a concave side of a liquid drop or bubble more than that on its convex side
Surface tension:
It is the tendency of a liquid to oppose the external force.
In the case of a liquid surface in curved shape, the expression for excess pressure between its curved surfaces (concave and convex) is
The reason for more pressure on concave surface is the property of surface tension.
