If the liquid level falls in a capillary tube,then the radius of the capillary will:

Liquid rises to a height $2 \ cm$ in a capillary tube; in that case,the angle of contact between the solid and the liquid is $0^{\circ}$. The tube is lowered more now,so that the capillary is only $1 \ cm$ above the liquid. In this case,the angle of contact between the solid and liquid is $......^{\circ}$.

Water rises in a capillary tube to a height such that the upward force of surface tension balances the downward force of $75 \times 10^{-4} \ N$ due to the weight of the water. If the surface tension of water is $12 \times 10^{-2} \ N/m$,the internal circumference of the capillary must be:

The angle of contact between glass and water is $0^\circ$ and it rises in a capillary up to $6 \text{ cm}$ when its surface tension is $70 \text{ dynes/cm}$. Another liquid of surface tension $140 \text{ dynes/cm}$,angle of contact $60^\circ$ and relative density $2$ will rise in the same capillary by ........ $\text{cm}$.

If water rises in a capillary tube up to $3 \, cm$,what is the diameter of the capillary tube? (Surface tension of water $T = 7.2 \times 10^{-2} \, N/m$,density $\rho = 10^3 \, kg/m^3$,$g = 10 \, m/s^2$)
