Liquid $A$ rises to a height of $10 \ cm$ in a capillary tube and liquid $B$ falls to a depth of $2 \ cm$ in the same tube. The densities of $A$ and $B$ are $1 \ g/cm^3$ and $10 \ g/cm^3$ respectively. The contact angles of $A$ and $B$ with the tube are $0^{\circ}$ and $135^{\circ}$ respectively. If the surface tensions of $A$ and $B$ are $S_A$ and $S_B$, then the ratio $\frac{S_B}{S_A}$ is:

  • A
    $\sqrt{2}$
  • B
    $2 \sqrt{2}$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{2 \sqrt{2}}$

$A$ capillary tube is placed at angles of $30^o$ and $60^o$ with the vertical. What is the ratio of the length of the liquid column in the capillary tube?

The ratio of surface tensions of mercury and water is given to be $7.5$ while the ratio of their densities is $13.6$. Their contact angles with glass are close to $135^o$ and $0^o$,respectively. It is observed that mercury gets depressed by an amount $h$ in a capillary tube of radius $r_1$,while water rises by the same amount $h$ in a capillary tube of radius $r_2$. The ratio $(r_1/r_2)$ is then close to:
