Given below are two statements:
$Statement$ $I$: If a capillary tube is immersed first in cold water and then in hot water,the height of capillary rise will be smaller in hot water.
$Statement$ $II$: If a capillary tube is immersed first in cold water and then in hot water,the height of capillary rise will be smaller in cold water.
In the light of the above statements,choose the most appropriate from the options given below:

  • A
    Both $Statement$ $I$ and $Statement$ $II$ are true.
  • B
    Both $Statement$ $I$ and $Statement$ $II$ are false.
  • C
    $Statement$ $I$ is true but $Statement$ $II$ is false.
  • D
    $Statement$ $I$ is false but $Statement$ $II$ is true.

One end of a capillary tube is dipped in water,the rise of water column is $h$. The upward force of $98 \text{ dyne}$ due to surface tension is balanced by the force due to the weight of the water column. The inner circumference of the capillary is (surface tension of water $= 7 \times 10^{-2} \text{ Nm}^{-1}$) (in $\text{ cm}$)

If two glass plates are placed very close to each other in water,then there will be a force of:

$A$ $U$-tube with limbs of diameters $5\, mm$ and $2\, mm$ contains water of surface tension $7 \times 10^{-2} \, N/m$. The angle of contact is zero and the density of water is $10^3 \, kg/m^3$. If $g = 10 \, m/s^2$,then the difference in the liquid levels of the two limbs is:
