When one end of a capillary tube is dipped in water,the height of the water column is $h$. The upward force of $108 \ dyne$ due to surface tension is balanced by the force due to the weight of the water column. What is the inner circumference of the capillary (in $cm$)? (Surface tension of water $T = 7.2 \times 10^{-2} \ N/m$)

If a capillary experiment is performed in a vacuum,what happens to the liquid level in the capillary tube?

Given below are two statements:
$Statement$ $I$: If a capillary tube is immersed first in cold water and then in hot water,the height of capillary rise will be smaller in hot water.
$Statement$ $II$: If a capillary tube is immersed first in cold water and then in hot water,the height of capillary rise will be smaller in cold water.
In the light of the above statements,choose the most appropriate from the options given below:

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 capillary tubes of same diameter are kept vertically in two liquids whose densities are in the ratio $4:3$. If their surface tensions are in the ratio $6:5$,the ratio of heights $\left(\frac{h_1}{h_2}\right)$ of liquids in the two capillary tubes is (Their angle of contacts are same).

The angle of contact between glass and water is $0^\circ$ and it rises in a capillary up to $6 \text{ cm}$ when its surface tension is $70 \text{ dynes/cm}$. Another liquid of surface tension $140 \text{ dynes/cm}$,angle of contact $60^\circ$ and relative density $2$ will rise in the same capillary by ........ $\text{cm}$.
