Water rises to a height of $16.3 \, cm$ in a capillary tube of height $18 \, cm$ above the water level. If the tube is cut at a height of $12 \, cm$ above the water level,then:

  • A
    water will come out as a fountain from the capillary tube
  • B
    water will stay at a height of $12 \, cm$ in the capillary tube
  • C
    the height of water in the capillary will be $10.3 \, cm$
  • D
    water will flow down the sides of the capillary tube

The sap in trees,which consists mainly of water in summer,rises in a system of capillaries of radius $r = 2.5 \times 10^{-5} \ m$. The surface tension of sap is $T = 7.28 \times 10^{-2} \ N/m$ and the angle of contact is $0^{\circ}$. Does surface tension alone account for the supply of water to the top of all trees?

If we dip capillary tubes of different radii $r_n$ in water and the water rises to different heights $h_n$ in them, then $(n = 1, 2, 3, ...)$

$A$ liquid rises to a height of $2.4 \ cm$ in a glass capillary $P$. Another glass capillary $Q$ having a diameter $80\%$ of capillary $P$ is immersed in the same liquid. The rise of liquid in capillary $Q$ is (in $cm$)

$A$ capillary tube made of glass with a radius of $0.15\, mm$ is dipped vertically in a beaker filled with methylene iodide (surface tension $= 0.05\, N m^{-1}$,density $= 667\, kg m^{-3}$),which rises to a height $h$ in the tube. It is observed that the two tangents drawn from the liquid-glass interfaces (from opposite sides of the capillary) make an angle of $60^{\circ}$ with one another. Then $h$ is close to $...... m$ $(g = 10\, m s^{-2})$

Two capillary tubes of the same diameter are kept vertically in two different liquids whose densities are in the ratio $4:3$. The rise of liquid in two capillaries is $h_1$ and $h_2$ respectively. If the surface tensions of liquids are in the ratio $6:5$,the ratio of heights $\left(\frac{h_1}{h_2}\right)$ is (Assume that their angles of contact are same).
