Two long capillary tubes $A$ and $B$ of radius $R_B > R_A$ are dipped in the same liquid. Then:

  • A
    Water rise is more in $A$ than $B$.
  • B
    Water rises more in $B$ than $A$.
  • C
    Same water rise in both.
  • D
    All of these according to the density of water.

Water rises in a capillary tube to a certain height such that the upward force due to surface tension is balanced by $75 \times 10^{-4} \, N$ force due to the weight of the liquid. If the surface tension of water is $6 \times 10^{-2} \, N m^{-1}$,the inner circumference of the capillary must be

Two narrow tubes of diameters $d_1$ and $d_2$ are joined together to form a $U$-tube open at both ends. If the $U$-tube contains water,the difference in water levels in the limbs is ($T$ is the surface tension of water,the angle of contact is zero,the density of water is $\rho$,and $g$ is the acceleration due to gravity).

The lower end of a capillary tube is dipped into water and it is observed that the water in the capillary tube rises by $7.5 \ cm$. Find the radius of the capillary tube used,if the surface tension of water is $7.5 \times 10^{-2} \ N \ m^{-1}$. The angle of contact between water and glass is $0^{\circ}$ and the acceleration due to gravity is $10 \ m \ s^{-2}$.
