Two capillary tubes $P$ and $Q$ are dipped vertically in water. The height of water level in capillary tube $P$ is $\frac{2}{3}$ of the height in capillary tube $Q$. The ratio of their diameters is

  • A
    $2: 3$
  • B
    $3: 2$
  • C
    $3: 4$

Two capillaries made of the same material have radii $r_1 = 1 \, mm$ and $r_2 = 2 \, mm$. If the rise of the liquid in the first capillary $(r_1 = 1 \, mm)$ is $30 \, cm$,then the rise in the other capillary will be ........ $cm$.

The sap in trees,which consists mainly of water in summer,rises in a system of capillaries of radius $r = 2.5 \times 10^{-5} \ m$. The surface tension of sap is $T = 7.28 \times 10^{-2} \ N/m$ and the angle of contact is $0^{\circ}$. Does surface tension alone account for the supply of water to the top of all trees?
