Water with detergent has little points of contact (Let θ) . This is on the grounds that for a smallθ, there is a quick narrow ascent of the cleanser in the material. The narrow ascent of a fluid is specifically corresponding to the cosine of the edge of contact . If θ is little , at that point cos θ will be huge and the ascent of the cleanser water in the fabric will be quick .

From antiquated occasions, compound added substances were utilized to encourage the mechanical washing of attire with water. The Italians utilized a blend of sulfur and water with charcoal to clean material. Egyptians added fiery remains and silicates to relax water. Cleansers were the first detergents.

Hii buddy,

◆ Explained Answer -
- As detergents are the wetting agents, they decrease the angle of contact below 90°.
- There is fast capillary rise of detergent in cloth which is directly proportional to cosine of the angle.
- As capillary rise is higher, cosine of angle is bigger which implies angle of contact must be smaller.

Hope that solved your doubt...
