Water rises to height $h$ in a capillary tube. If the length of the capillary tube above the surface of water is made less than $h$,then

The heat evolved for the rise of water when one end of the capillary tube of radius $r$ is immersed vertically into water is (Assume surface tension $= T$ and density of water to be $\rho$)

$A$ capillary tube is immersed vertically in water,and the water rises to a height $h_1$ on the Earth's surface. When this arrangement is taken into a mine of depth $d$ below the Earth's surface,the height of the water column is $h_2$. If $R$ is the radius of the Earth,the ratio $\frac{h_2}{h_1}$ is:

Two narrow bores of diameters $3.0 \;mm$ and $6.0 \;mm$ are joined together to form a $U$-tube open at both ends. If the $U$-tube contains water,what is the difference (in $mm$) in its levels in the two limbs of the tube? Surface tension of water at the temperature of the experiment is $7.3 \times 10^{-2} \;N m^{-1}$. Take the angle of contact to be zero and density of water to be $1.0 \times 10^{3} \;kg m^{-3}$ $(g = 9.8 \;m s^{-2})$.
