Q. The property utilized in the manufacture of lead shots is

AIIMSAIIMS 2002Mechanical Properties of Solids

Solution:

The property utilized in the manufacture of lead shots is surface tension of liquid lead. In this process, molten lead is made to pass through a sieve from a high tower and allowed to fall in water. The molten lead particles, while descending, assume a spherical shape and solidify in this form, before falling into water.
