$A$ capillary tube is vertically immersed in water,and water rises up to a height $h_{1}$. When the whole arrangement is taken to a depth $d$ in a mine,the water level rises up to a height $h_{2}$. The ratio $h_{1} / h_{2}$ is ($R =$ radius of earth).

  • A
    $\left(1+\frac{2d}{R}\right)$
  • B
    $\left(1-\frac{d}{R}\right)$
  • C
    $\left(1+\frac{d}{R}\right)$
  • D
