Double-A I wonder at what temperature mercury becomes a solid? I
wonder if you had solid mercury sheets with liquid mercury between them
(like a sandwich) how slippery they would be? Water ice with liquid
water on its surface is the most slippery(little friction)
Mercury has a lot of surface tension,and that is the reason I have this
thinking. Bert



Mercury freezes at -37.7°F. I once saw a man drive a rubber nail with
a mercury hammer. He had dipped both into liquid nitrogen first.
