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 tubes of same length and diameters $4 \ mm$ and $8 \ mm$ are joined together to form a $U$-shaped tube open at both the ends. If the $U$-tube contains water,then the difference between the levels of water in the two limbs of the tube is (Surface tension of water at the temperature of experiment is $7.3 \times 10^{-2} \ N \ m^{-1}$,angle of contact $= 0^{\circ}$,density of water $= 1.0 \times 10^3 \ kg \ m^{-3}$ and acceleration due to gravity $= 10 \ m \ s^{-2}$) (in $mm$)
