When a liquid has concave meniscus, the angle of contact is acute. When it has a convex meniscus, the angle of contact is obtuse. For pure water and perfectly clean glass, the angle of contact is 0°. For ordinary water and glass, it lies between 8° and 18°. For pure water and pure silver, the angle of contact is 90°.

Answer:
HERE IS YOUR ANSWER
Explanation:
- Consider a solid is in contact with liquid that partially wet solid.ex.kerosene in a glass bottle Consider a liquid molecule A on the surface of liquid near the wall of the Container.
- The molecules experience adhesive force due to Solid Molecule and Cohesive force due to liquid molecule Shown by AP and AC respectively
- The net force acting on molecule A is directed inside the solid shown by AR
- For the stability of liquid Surface,the net force AR acting on molecule A must be normal to the liquid Surface at all points
- For the molecule A of liquid creeps upward.So that the liquid Surface becomes Perpendicular to the net force AR which makes the meniscus Concave
