If we dip capillary tubes of different radii $r_n$ in water and the water rises to different heights $h_n$ in them, then $(n = 1, 2, 3, ...)$

  • A
    $h_n / r_n^2 = \text{constant}$
  • B
    $h_n / r_n = \text{constant}$
  • C
    $h_n r_n^2 = \text{constant}$
  • D
    $h_n r_n = \text{constant}$

Wax is coated on the inner wall of a capillary tube and the tube is then dipped in water. Then,compared to the unwaxed capillary,the angle of contact $\theta$ and the height $h$ up to which water rises change. These changes are:

Two narrow bores of diameter $5.0 \, mm$ and $8.0 \, mm$ are joined together to form a $U$-shaped tube open at both ends. If this $U$-tube contains water,what is the difference in the level of two limbs of the tube?
