Two capillary tubes of same diameter are kept vertically in two liquids whose densities are in the ratio $4:3$. If their surface tensions are in the ratio $6:5$,the ratio of heights $\left(\frac{h_1}{h_2}\right)$ of liquids in the two capillary tubes is (Their angle of contacts are same).

Three liquids have the same surface tension and densities $\rho_1, \rho_2$,and $\rho_3$ $(\rho_1 > \rho_2 > \rho_3)$. In three identical capillaries,the rise of the liquid is the same. The corresponding angles of contact $\theta_1, \theta_2$,and $\theta_3$ are related as:

Two capillary tubes of radii $0.2 \ cm$ and $0.4 \ cm$ are dipped in the same liquid. The ratio of the heights to which the liquid will rise in the tubes is:

$A$ 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 $g = 980\,cm/s^2$).
