$A$ glass capillary tube is in the shape of a truncated cone with an apex angle $\alpha$ so that its two ends have cross sections of different radii. When dipped in water vertically,water rises in it to a height $h$,where the radius of its cross section is $b$. If the surface tension of water is $S$,its density is $\rho$,and its contact angle with glass is $\theta$,the value of $h$ will be ($g$ is the acceleration due to gravity).

Water rises in a vertical capillary tube up to a height of $2.0\ cm$. If the tube is inclined at an angle of $60^o$ with the vertical,then up to what length will the water rise in the tube? (in $cm$)

When one end of a capillary tube is dipped in water,the height of water column is $h$. The upward force of $105 \text{ dyne}$ due to surface tension is balanced by the force due to the weight of water column. The inner circumference of the capillary tube is (Surface tension of water $= 7 \times 10^{-2} \text{ N/m}$) (in $\text{ cm}$)

$A$ capillary tube is taken from the Earth's surface to the Moon's surface. What happens to the rise of the liquid column on the Moon's surface? (Acceleration due to gravity on the Earth's surface is six times that of the Moon's surface.)

$A$ narrow glass capillary tube of radius $1.00 \ mm$ is dipped in a trough containing mercury. The amount by which the level of mercury dips down relative to the normal level outside the tube will be approximately $..... \ mm$.
$[$Surface tension of mercury at room temperature $= 0.465 \ N/m$,density of mercury $= 13.6 \times 10^3 \ kg/m^3$,angle of contact with glass $= 135^{\circ}$,$g = 9.8 \ m/s^2]$
