Given below are two statements:
$Statement$ $I$: If a capillary tube is immersed first in cold water and then in hot water,the height of capillary rise will be smaller in hot water.
$Statement$ $II$: If a capillary tube is immersed first in cold water and then in hot water,the height of capillary rise will be smaller in cold water.
In the light of the above statements,choose the most appropriate from the options given below:

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

Water rises up to a height $h$ in a capillary tube on the surface of the Earth in a stationary condition. The value of $h$ increases if this tube is taken:

$A$ 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 $= 135^{\circ}$,$g = 9.8 \ m/s^2]$

The radius of a capillary tube is $2 \times 10^{-3} \ m$. If a liquid of weight $6.28 \times 10^{-4} \ N$ can be supported in the capillary,what is the surface tension of the liquid?

The radius of the bore of a capillary tube is $r$ and the angle of contact of the liquid is $\theta$. When the tube is dipped in the liquid,the radius of curvature of the meniscus of liquid rising in the tube is
