When a capillary tube is dipped vertically in water,the rise of water in the capillary is $h$. The angle of contact is $0^{\circ}$. Now,the tube is depressed so that its length above the water surface is $\frac{h}{3}$. The new apparent angle of contact is $(\cos 0^{\circ} = 1)$.

    $\cos ^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)$
  • B
    $\cos ^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{3}\right)$
  • C
    $\cos ^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{4}\right)$
  • D
    $\cos ^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{6}\right)$

Water rises up to a height of $4 \,cm$ in a capillary tube. The lower end of the capillary tube is at a depth of $8 \,cm$ below the water level. The mouth pressure required to blow an air bubble at the lower end of the capillary will be '$X$' $cm$ of water,where $X$ is equal to

$A$ capillary tube of radius $0.2\,cm$ is dipped vertically in a beaker containing liquid. If the liquid rises to a height of $5\,cm$ for which the angle of contact is $60^o$,then the surface tension of the liquid is ...... $dynes/cm$ (given density $d = 1\,gm/cm^3$ and acceleration due to gravity $g = 980\,cm/s^2$).
