Water rises up to $10 \, cm$ height in a long capillary tube. If this tube is immersed in water so that the height above the water surface is only $8 \, cm$,then:

  • A
    Water flows out continuously from the upper end
  • B
    Water rises up to the upper end and forms a spherical surface
  • C
    Water only rises up to $6 \, cm$ height
  • D
    Water does not rise at all

In a capillary tube of radius $R$,a straight thin metal wire of radius $r$ $(R > r)$ is inserted symmetrically,and one end of the combination is dipped vertically in water such that the lower end of the combination is at the same level. The rise of water in the capillary tube is $[T =$ surface tension of water,$\rho =$ density of water,$g =$ gravitational acceleration$]$.

Water rises in a vertical capillary tube up to a height of $2.0\ cm$. If the tube is inclined at an angle of $60^o$ with the vertical,then up to what length will the water rise in the tube? (in $cm$)
