Gravitational force is required for
- stirring of liquid
- convection
- conduction
- radiation
Answer
(2) convection
Solution
In convection, the heated part of a fluid becomes less dense and rises while the denser, colder part sinks.
This rising and sinking is due to buoyancy, which exists only because of gravity.
Natural convection needs gravitational force; conduction and radiation do not.
