(N/A) The height $h$ of a liquid column in a capillary tube is given by the formula:
$h = \frac{2T \cos \theta}{r \rho g}$
Where:
$T$ is the surface tension of the liquid.
$\theta$ is the angle of contact between the liquid and the capillary wall.
$r$ is the radius of the capillary tube.
$\rho$ is the density of the liquid.
$g$ is the acceleration due to gravity.
