Two narrow bores of diameter $5.0 \, mm$ and $8.0 \, mm$ are joined together to form a $U$-shaped tube open at both ends. If this $U$-tube contains water,what is the difference in the level of two limbs of the tube? [Take surface tension of water $T = 7.3 \times 10^{-2} \, Nm^{-1}$,angle of contact $= 0$,$g = 10 \, ms^{-2}$ and density of water $\rho = 1.0 \times 10^{3} \, kg \, m^{-3}$] (in $mm$)

  • A
    $3.62$
  • B
    $2.19$
  • C
    $5.34$
  • D
    $4.97$

Water rises up to a height $h$ in a capillary tube immersed vertically in water. When this whole arrangement is taken to a depth $d$ in a mine,the water level rises up to a height $h^{\prime}$. If $R$ is the radius of the earth,then the ratio $\frac{h}{h^{\prime}}$ is

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