$A$ $20 \ cm$ long capillary tube is dipped in water. The water rises up to $8 \ cm$. If the entire arrangement is put in a freely falling elevator,the length of the water column in the capillary tube will be (in $cm$)?

When a part of a straight capillary tube is placed vertically in a liquid, the liquid rises up to a certain height $h$. If the inner radius of the capillary tube, density of the liquid, and surface tension of the liquid decrease by $1\%$ each, then the height of the liquid in the tube will change by . . . . . . $\%$.

Liquid $A$ rises to a height of $10 \ cm$ in a capillary tube and liquid $B$ falls to a depth of $2 \ cm$ in the same tube. The densities of $A$ and $B$ are $1 \ g/cm^3$ and $10 \ g/cm^3$ respectively. The contact angles of $A$ and $B$ with the tube are $0^{\circ}$ and $135^{\circ}$ respectively. If the surface tensions of $A$ and $B$ are $S_A$ and $S_B$, then the ratio $\frac{S_B}{S_A}$ is:

Mercury has an angle of contact equal to $140^{\circ}$ with soda lime glass. $A$ narrow tube of radius $1.00 \; mm$ made of this glass is dipped in a trough containing mercury. By what amount does the mercury dip down (in $mm$) in the tube relative to the liquid surface outside? Surface tension of mercury at the temperature of the experiment is $0.465 \; N m^{-1}$. Density of mercury $= 13.6 \times 10^{3} \; kg m^{-3}$.

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).
