The maximum length of a water column that can stay without falling in a vertically held capillary tube of diameter $1 \ mm$ and open at both ends is (Acceleration due to gravity $= 10 \ ms^{-2}$ and surface tension of water $= 0.07 \ Nm^{-1}$) (in $cm$)

Write the formula for the height of a liquid column in a capillary tube.

$A$ capillary tube,when immersed vertically in a liquid,records a rise of $3 \, cm$. If the tube is immersed in the liquid at an angle of ${60^\circ}$ with the vertical,what is the length of the liquid column along the tube in $cm$?

$A$ glass rod of radius $r_1$ is inserted symmetrically into a vertical capillary tube of radius $r_2$ $(r_1 < r_2)$ such that their lower ends are at the same level. The arrangement is dipped in water. The height to which water will rise into the tube will be ($\rho =$ density of water,$T =$ surface tension of water,$g =$ acceleration due to gravity).

In a $U$-shaped tube,the radius of one limb is $2 \ mm$ and that of the other limb is $4 \ mm$. $A$ liquid of surface tension $0.03 \ Nm^{-1}$,density $1500 \ kgm^{-3}$,and angle of contact zero is taken in the tube. The difference in the heights of the levels of the liquid in the two limbs is (Acceleration due to gravity $= 10 \ ms^{-2}$) (in $mm$)
