View Solution

Surface tension of two liquids (having same densities), $T_1$ and $T_2$, are measured using the capillary rise method utilizing two tubes with inner radii of $r_1$ and $r_2$ where $r_1 > r_2$. The measured liquid heights in these tubes are $h_1$ and $h_2$ respectively. [Ignore the weight of the liquid above the lowest point of the meniscus]. If $T_1 = T_2$, which of the following relations is satisfied?
