Three liquids of densities $\rho_1, \rho_2$ and $\rho_3$ (with $\rho_1 > \rho_2 > \rho_3$),having the same value of surface tension $T$,rise to the same height in three identical capillaries. The angles of contact $\theta_1, \theta_2$ and $\theta_3$ obey:

  • A
    $\frac{\pi}{2} < \theta_1 < \theta_2 < \theta_3 < \pi$
  • B
    $\pi > \theta_1 > \theta_2 > \theta_3 > \frac{\pi}{2}$
  • C
    $\frac{\pi}{2} > \theta_1 > \theta_2 > \theta_3 > 0$
  • D
    $0 \le \theta_1 < \theta_2 < \theta_3 < \frac{\pi}{2}$
