$A$ capillary tube is immersed vertically in water,and the water rises to a height $h_1$ on the Earth's surface. When this arrangement is taken into a mine of depth $d$ below the Earth's surface,the height of the water column is $h_2$. If $R$ is the radius of the Earth,the ratio $\frac{h_2}{h_1}$ is:

Water rises up to height $x$ in a capillary tube immersed vertically in water. When the whole arrangement is taken to a depth $d$ in a mine,the water level rises up to height $Y$. If $R$ is the radius of the earth,then the ratio $Y:x$ is

Two narrow bores of diameters $3.0 \;mm$ and $6.0 \;mm$ are joined together to form a $U$-tube open at both ends. If the $U$-tube contains water,what is the difference (in $mm$) in its levels in the two limbs of the tube? Surface tension of water at the temperature of the experiment is $7.3 \times 10^{-2} \;N m^{-1}$. Take the angle of contact to be zero and density of water to be $1.0 \times 10^{3} \;kg m^{-3}$ $(g = 9.8 \;m s^{-2})$.

In a $U$-shaped tube,the radius of one limb is $2 \ mm$ and that of the other limb is $4 \ mm$. $A$ liquid of surface tension $0.03 \ Nm^{-1}$,density $1500 \ kgm^{-3}$,and angle of contact zero is taken in the tube. The difference in the heights of the levels of the liquid in the two limbs is (Acceleration due to gravity $= 10 \ ms^{-2}$) (in $mm$)

$A$ capillary tube of radius $0.1 \,mm$ is dipped in water. The water rises to a height of $2 \,cm$ in the tube. If the surface tension of water is $0.072 \,N/m$, the contact angle between water and the wall of the tube is:
