The correct relation for the capillary rise $h$ in a tube of radius $r$ is:

The sap in trees,which consists mainly of water in summer,rises in a system of capillaries of radius $r = 2.5 \times 10^{-5} \ m$. The surface tension of sap is $T = 7.28 \times 10^{-2} \ N/m$ and the angle of contact is $0^{\circ}$. Does surface tension alone account for the supply of water to the top of all trees?

Three liquids have the same surface tension and densities $\rho_1, \rho_2$ and $\rho_3$ $(\rho_1 < \rho_2 < \rho_3)$. In three identical capillaries, the rise of liquid is the same. The corresponding angles of contact $\theta_1, \theta_2$ and $\theta_3$ are related as:

The sap in a tree rises in a system of capillaries of radius $2.5 \times 10^{-5} \, m$. The surface tension of the sap is $7.28 \times 10^{-2} \, N \, m^{-1}$ and the angle of contact is $0^{\circ}$. The maximum height to which the sap can rise in a tree through capillarity action is ...... $m$ (take $\rho_{sap} = 10^3 \, kg \, m^{-3}$ and $g = 9.8 \, m \, s^{-2}$).
