On putting a capillary tube in a pot filled with water,the level of water rises up to a height of $4 \,cm$ in the tube. If a tube of half the diameter is used instead,the water will rise to a height of nearly ............. $cm$.

Why does the water rise in a capillary tube? Explain.

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 ....... $cm$.

Water rises in a capillary tube up to a height of $4 \, cm$. If it is tilted to $30^{\circ}$ from the vertical,then the length of the water column in it will be

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

$A$ capillary tube of radius $R$ is immersed in water and water rises in it to a height $H$. The mass of water in the capillary tube is $M$. If the radius of the tube is halved,the mass of water that will rise in the capillary tube will now be
