$A$ 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 $g = 980\,cm/s^2$).

$A$ glass capillary tube of inner diameter $0.28 \,mm$ is lowered vertically into water in a vessel. The pressure to be applied on the water in the capillary tube so that the water level in the tube is the same as that in the vessel is ............ $\times 10^3 \,N/m^2$ (surface tension of water $= 0.07 \,N/m$ and atmospheric pressure $= 10^5 \,N/m^2$).

If we dip capillary tubes of different radii $r_n$ in water and the water rises to different heights $h_n$ in them, then $(n = 1, 2, 3, ...)$

If a capillary tube is tilted to $45^o$ and $60^o$ from the vertical,then the ratio of the lengths $l_1$ and $l_2$ of the liquid columns in it will be:
