$A$ uniform capillary tube of length $l$ and inner radius $r$ with its upper end sealed is submerged vertically into water. The outside pressure is $p_{0}$ and surface tension of water is $\gamma$. When a length $x$ of the capillary is submerged into water, it is found that water levels inside and outside the capillary coincide. The value of $x$ is

  • A
    $\frac{l}{\left(1+\frac{p_{0} r}{4 \gamma}\right)}$
  • B
    $l\left(1-\frac{p_{0} r}{4 \gamma}\right)$
  • C
    $l\left(1-\frac{p_{0} r}{2 \gamma}\right)$
  • D
    $\frac{l}{\left(1+\frac{p_{0} r}{2 \gamma}\right)}$

In the state of weightlessness,a capillary tube is dipped in water,then water

Water rises to a height of $10 \ cm$ in a certain capillary tube. Another identical tube when dipped in mercury,the level of mercury is depressed by $3.42 \ cm$. The density of mercury is $13.6 \ g/cc$. The angle of contact for water in contact with glass is $0^o$ and for mercury in contact with glass is $135^o$. The ratio of the surface tension of water to that of $Hg$ is:

When a capillary tube is dipped vertically in water,the rise of water in the capillary is $h$. The angle of contact is $0^{\circ}$. Now,the tube is depressed so that its length above the water surface is $\frac{h}{3}$. The new apparent angle of contact is $(\cos 0^{\circ} = 1)$.

The action of a nib split at the top is explained by

$A$ capillary tube of radius $0.2\,cm$ is dipped vertically in a beaker containing liquid. If the liquid rises to a height of $5\,cm$ for which the angle of contact is $60^o$,then the surface tension of the liquid is ...... $dynes/cm$ (given density $d = 1\,gm/cm^3$ and acceleration due to gravity $g = 980\,cm/s^2$).
