There are many ways to measure a contact angle, but the simplest way is to use a goniometer. The image of the droplet is taken with a high resolution camera; the angle can then be measured using a protractor.

What is the measure of cab with the tangent chord angle of 162?

The measure of the angle formed between a tangent and a chord at the point of contact is equal to half the measure of the intercepted arc on the circle. Given a tangent-chord angle of 162 degrees, the measure of the intercepted arc ( AB ) (arc ( AB ) is represented as ( \angle CAB )) would be twice that angle, which is ( 2 \times 162 = 324 ) degrees.


What is angle of contact of water?

The angle of contact, or contact angle, of water refers to the angle formed between the tangent to the liquid surface at the contact point and the solid surface it meets. It is a measure of wetting; a smaller angle indicates better wetting, while a larger angle suggests poor wetting. For water on clean glass, the contact angle is typically around 20-30 degrees, indicating that water tends to wet the glass surface well. Factors such as surface texture and contaminants can alter this angle significantly.
