$A$ liquid (density $= 10^3 \ kg/m^3$) rises to a height of $10 \ cm$ in a capillary tube. If the angle of contact of the liquid-glass pair is $0^{\circ}$ and the radius of the tube is $2 \ mm$,then the surface tension of the liquid is:

  • A
    $10^{-3} \ N/m$
  • B
    $10^{-2} \ N/m$
  • C
    $10^{-1} \ N/m$
  • D
    $1 \ N/m$

Three liquids have the same surface tension and densities $\rho_1, \rho_2$,and $\rho_3$ $(\rho_1 > \rho_2 > \rho_3)$. In three identical capillaries,the rise of the liquid is the same. The corresponding angles of contact $\theta_1, \theta_2$,and $\theta_3$ are related as:

Water rises to a height of $10 \ cm$ in a certain capillary tube. Another identical tube when dipped in mercury,the level of mercury is depressed by $3.42 \ cm$. The density of mercury is $13.6 \ g/cc$. The angle of contact for water in contact with glass is $0^o$ and for mercury in contact with glass is $135^o$. The ratio of the surface tension of water to that of $Hg$ is:

If a capillary experiment is performed in a vacuum,what happens to the liquid level in the capillary tube?

When a capillary tube is kept in water, water $......$ in the capillary, while when it is kept in mercury, the mercury $......$ in the capillary. (Choose the correct words: $rising up$ / $depressed$)

Two narrow bores of diameter $5.0 \, mm$ and $8.0 \, mm$ are joined together to form a $U$-shaped tube open at both ends. If this $U$-tube contains water,what is the difference in the level of two limbs of the tube? [Take surface tension of water $T = 7.3 \times 10^{-2} \, Nm^{-1}$,angle of contact $= 0$,$g = 10 \, ms^{-2}$ and density of water $\rho = 1.0 \times 10^{3} \, kg \, m^{-3}$] (in $mm$)
