The following observations were taken for determining the surface tension $T$ of water by the capillary method:
Diameter of capillary,$D = 1.25 \times 10^{-2} \ m$
Rise of water,$h = 1.45 \times 10^{-2} \ m$
Using $g = 9.80 \ m/s^2$ and the simplified relation $T = \frac{rhg}{2} \times 10^3 \ N/m$,the possible error in surface tension is closest to ......... $\%$

  • A
    $0.15$
  • B
    $1.5$
  • C
    $2.4$
  • D
    $10$
