Water rises up to a height $h$ in a capillary tube on the surface of the Earth in a stationary condition. The value of $h$ increases if this tube is taken:

  • A
    On the Sun
  • B
    On the poles
  • C
    In a lift going upward with acceleration
  • D
    In a lift going downward with acceleration

When a part of a straight capillary tube is placed vertically in a liquid, the liquid rises up to a certain height $h$. If the inner radius of the capillary tube, density of the liquid, and surface tension of the liquid decrease by $1\%$ each, then the height of the liquid in the tube will change by . . . . . . $\%$.

The sap in a tree rises in a system of capillaries of radius $2.5 \times 10^{-5} \, m$. The surface tension of the sap is $7.28 \times 10^{-2} \, N \, m^{-1}$ and the angle of contact is $0^{\circ}$. The maximum height to which the sap can rise in a tree through capillarity action is ...... $m$ (take $\rho_{sap} = 10^3 \, kg \, m^{-3}$ and $g = 9.8 \, m \, s^{-2}$).

The following observations were taken for determining surface tension $T$ of water by the capillary method:
Diameter of capillary,$D = 1.25 \times 10^{-2} \; m$
Rise of water,$h = 1.45 \times 10^{-2} \; m$
Using $g = 9.80 \; m/s^2$ and the simplified relation $T = \frac{rhg}{2} \times 10^3 \; N/m$,the possible error in surface tension is ........... $\%$. (Assume the least count of the measuring instrument is $0.01 \times 10^{-2} \; m$)

Water rises in a capillary tube of radius $r$ up to a height $h$. The mass of water in the capillary is $m$. What will be the mass of water that rises in a capillary of radius $\frac{r}{4}$?

If we dip capillary tubes of different radii $r_n$ in water and the water rises to different heights $h_n$ in them, then $(n = 1, 2, 3, ...)$
