$A$ glass rod of radius $r_1$ is inserted symmetrically into a vertical capillary tube of radius $r_2$ $(r_1 < r_2)$ such that their lower ends are at the same level. The arrangement is dipped in water. The height to which water will rise into the tube will be ($\rho =$ density of water,$T =$ surface tension of water,$g =$ acceleration due to gravity).

  • A
    $\frac{2T}{(r_2-r_1)\rho g}$
  • B
    $\frac{T}{(r_2^2-r_1^2)\rho g}$
  • C
    $\frac{T}{(r_2-r_1)\rho g}$
  • D
    $\frac{2T}{(r_2^2-r_1^2)\rho g}$

If a capillary tube of radius $1 \,mm$ is immersed in water, the mass of water rising in the capillary tube is $m$. If the radius of the capillary tube is doubled, then the mass of water that rises in the same capillary tube will be

$A$ capillary tube of radius $0.1 \ mm$ is partly dipped in water (surface tension $70 \ dyn/cm$ and glass-water contact angle $\simeq 0^{\circ}$) inclined at $30^{\circ}$ with the vertical. The length of water risen in the capillary is . . . . . . $cm$. (Take $g = 980 \ cm/s^2$)

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:

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 $T = 7.2 \times 10^{-2} \ N/m$)
