Given below are two statements:
Statement $I$: The contact angle between a solid and a liquid is a property of the material of the solid and liquid as well.
Statement $II$: The rise of a liquid in a capillary tube does not depend on the inner radius of the tube.
In the light of the above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below:

  • A
    Both Statement $I$ and Statement $II$ are false.
  • B
    Statement $I$ is false but Statement $II$ is true.
  • C
    Statement $I$ is true but Statement $II$ is false.
  • D
    Both Statement $I$ and Statement $II$ are true.

The height up to which water will rise in a capillary tube will be

Water rises up to a height of $4 \,cm$ in a capillary tube. The lower end of the capillary tube is at a depth of $8 \,cm$ below the water level. The mouth pressure required to blow an air bubble at the lower end of the capillary will be '$X$' $cm$ of water,where $X$ is equal to

$A$ uniform capillary tube of length $l$ and inner radius $r$ with its upper end sealed is submerged vertically into water. The outside pressure is $p_{0}$ and surface tension of water is $\gamma$. When a length $x$ of the capillary is submerged into water, it is found that water levels inside and outside the capillary coincide. The value of $x$ is

$A$ capillary tube made of glass with a radius of $0.15\, mm$ is dipped vertically in a beaker filled with methylene iodide (surface tension $= 0.05\, N m^{-1}$,density $= 667\, kg m^{-3}$),which rises to a height $h$ in the tube. It is observed that the two tangents drawn from the liquid-glass interfaces (from opposite sides of the capillary) make an angle of $60^{\circ}$ with one another. Then $h$ is close to $...... m$ $(g = 10\, m s^{-2})$

$A$ glass rod of radius $1.0\,mm$ is inserted symmetrically into a vertical capillary tube of radius $2.0\,mm$ such that their lower ends are at the same level. This arrangement is now dipped in water. The height to which water will rise into the tube will be ...... $mm$ (Surface Tension of water $T = 75 \times 10^{-3}\,N/m$,density $\rho = 10^3\,kg/m^3$,$g = 10\,m/s^2$).
