Vedclass · Answer

(D) The height of the liquid column in a capillary tube is given by the formula: $h = \frac{2 T \cos 	heta}{ho g r}$,where $T$ is the surface tension,$	heta$ is the contact angle,$ho$ is the density of the liquid,$g$ is the acceleration due to gravity,and $r$ is the radius of the capillary tube.From the formula,we can see that $h \propto \frac{1}{r}$.This implies that the height of the water rise is inversely proportional to the radius (or diameter) of the capillary tube.Therefore,the rise of water will be greater in the tube with the smaller diameter.
