Why are mercury drops spherical?

Mercury has a very high surface tension and does not easily wet most other surfaces. For a given amount of mercury, a sphere has the smallest possible ratio of surface area to volume and is therefor the lowest energy shape for the mercury.

Why is mercury level convex in shape?

The reason we consider the surface area of the entire mass of mercury, including the part of the surface that is in contact with the glass, is because mercury does not adhere at all to glass. So the surface tension of the mercury acts over its entire surface area, including where it is in contact with the glass. If instead of glass, the tube were made out of copper, the situation would be very different. Mercury aggressively adheres to copper. So in a copper tube, the level of mercury at the center of the tube will be lower rather than higher than at the edges

Why is Mercury spherical?

The reason Mercury droplets are spherical is because they do easily wet other surfaces. For this reason, mercury forms spheres, which have the smallest possible ration of surface area to volume.
