$A$ 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:

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 up to a height $h$ in a capillary tube of a certain diameter. This capillary tube is replaced by a similar tube of half the diameter. Now,the water will rise to a height of:

Water rises to a height of $2 \,cm$ in a capillary tube. If the cross-sectional area of the tube is reduced to $\frac{1}{16}^{\text{th}}$ of the initial area, then water will rise to a height of: (in $\,cm$)
