Water rises in a capillary tube of radius $r$ up to a height $h$. The mass of water in the capillary is $m$. What will be the mass of water that rises in a capillary tube of radius $\frac{r}{4}$?

$A$ capillary tube of radius $r$ is initially just vertically completely immersed inside a liquid of angle of contact $0^{\circ}$. If the tube is slowly raised,then the relation between the radius of curvature of the meniscus inside the capillary tube and the displacement $(h)$ of the tube can be represented by:

Water rises in a vertical capillary tube up to a height of $2.0\ cm$. If the tube is inclined at an angle of $60^o$ with the vertical,then up to what length will the water rise in the tube? (in $cm$)

The lower end of a capillary tube is dipped into water and it is observed that the water in the capillary tube rises by $7.5 \ cm$. Find the radius of the capillary tube used,if the surface tension of water is $7.5 \times 10^{-2} \ N \ m^{-1}$. The angle of contact between water and glass is $0^{\circ}$ and the acceleration due to gravity is $10 \ m \ s^{-2}$.

Water rises in a capillary tube to a height of $3\, cm$ when one end is dipped vertically in it. If the surface tension of water is $75 \times 10^{-3}\, N/m$,then the diameter of the capillary tube will be....... $mm$. (Assume $g = 10\, m/s^2$)
