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 the liquid is the same. The corresponding angles of contact $\theta_1, \theta_2$,and $\theta_3$ are related as:

  • A
    $\theta_1 > \theta_2 > \theta_3$
  • B
    $\theta_1 > \theta_3 > \theta_2$
  • C
    $\theta_1 < \theta_2 < \theta_3$
  • D
    $\theta_1 = \theta_2 = \theta_3$
