$A$ capillary tube made of glass is dipped into mercury. Then

Water rises to a height of $2.2 \text{ cm}$ in a glass capillary tube. The height to which the same water rises in another capillary having $\frac{1}{4}$ of the cross-sectional area is: (in $\text{ cm}$)

Water rises to a height of $16.3 \, cm$ in a capillary tube of height $18 \, cm$ above the water level. If the tube is cut at a height of $12 \, cm$ above the water level,then:

Two capillary tubes of the same diameter are kept vertically in two different liquids whose densities are in the ratio $4:3$. The rise of liquid in two capillaries is $h_1$ and $h_2$ respectively. If the surface tensions of liquids are in the ratio $6:5$,the ratio of heights $\left(\frac{h_1}{h_2}\right)$ is (Assume that their angles of contact are same).

Water rises to a height of $10 \, cm$ in a capillary tube and mercury falls to a depth of $3.1 \, cm$ in the same capillary tube. If the density of mercury is $13.6 \, g/cm^3$ and the angle of contact for mercury is $135^{\circ}$,the approximate ratio of surface tensions of water and mercury is
