In a capillary rise experiment,the water level rises to a height of $5\, cm$. If the same capillary tube is placed in water such that only $3\, cm$ of the tube projects outside the water level,then

  • A
    water will begin to overflow through the capillary
  • B
    angle of contact decreases
  • C
    angle of contact increases

In a capillary tube experiment, a vertical $30 \text{ cm}$ long capillary tube is dipped in water. Water rises up to a height of $10 \text{ cm}$ due to capillarity. If this experiment is conducted in a freely falling elevator, then the length of the water column becomes

$A$ 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
