In a capillary tube experiment,a vertical $20 \,cm$ long capillary tube is dipped in water. The water rises up to a height of $8 \,cm$ due to capillary action. If this experiment is conducted in a freely falling elevator,the length of the water column becomes ....... $cm$.

  • A
    $10$
  • B
    $30$
  • C
    $20$

Water rises to a height of $20 \ mm$ in a capillary tube. If the radius of the capillary tube is made $\frac{1}{3}rd$ of its previous value,what is the new height of the capillary rise (in $mm$)?

Liquid $A$ rises to a height of $10 \ cm$ in a capillary tube and liquid $B$ falls to a depth of $2 \ cm$ in the same tube. The densities of $A$ and $B$ are $1 \ g/cm^3$ and $10 \ g/cm^3$ respectively. The contact angles of $A$ and $B$ with the tube are $0^{\circ}$ and $135^{\circ}$ respectively. If the surface tensions of $A$ and $B$ are $S_A$ and $S_B$, then the ratio $\frac{S_B}{S_A}$ is:
