Three liquids have the same surface tension and densities $\varrho_{1}, \varrho_{2}$,and $\varrho_{3}$ $(\varrho_{1} > \varrho_{2} > \varrho_{3})$. In three identical capillaries,the rise of liquid is the same. The corresponding angles of contact $\theta_{1}, \theta_{2}$,and $\theta_{3}$ are related as:

  • A
    $\theta_{1} > \theta_{2} > \theta_{3}$
  • B
    $\theta_{1} < \theta_{2} > \theta_{3}$
  • C
    $\theta_{1} > \theta_{2} < \theta_{3}$
  • D
    $\theta_{1} < \theta_{2} < \theta_{3}$

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 ....... $cm$.

The radius of the bore of a capillary tube is $r$ and the angle of contact of the liquid is $\theta$. When the tube is dipped in the liquid,the radius of curvature of the meniscus of liquid rising in the tube is

Water rises to a height $h$ in a capillary tube at the surface of the Earth. On the surface of the moon,the height of the water column in the same capillary tube will be:

Mercury has an angle of contact equal to $140^{\circ}$ with soda lime glass. $A$ narrow tube of radius $1.00 \; mm$ made of this glass is dipped in a trough containing mercury. By what amount does the mercury dip down (in $mm$) in the tube relative to the liquid surface outside? Surface tension of mercury at the temperature of the experiment is $0.465 \; N m^{-1}$. Density of mercury $= 13.6 \times 10^{3} \; kg m^{-3}$.

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 $10 \ m \ s^{-2}$.
