$A$ cylindrical capillary tube of $0.2 \ mm$ radius is made by joining two capillaries $T_1$ and $T_2$ of different materials having water contact angles of $0^{\circ}$ and $60^{\circ}$,respectively. The capillary tube is dipped vertically in water in two different configurations,case $I$ and $II$ as shown in the figure. Which of the following option$(s)$ is(are) correct?
(Surface tension of water $= 0.075 \ N/m$,density of water $= 1000 \ kg/m^3$,take $g = 10 \ m/s^2$)
$(1)$ The correction in the height of the water column raised in the tube,due to the weight of water contained in the meniscus,will be different for both cases.
$(2)$ For case $I$,if the capillary joint is $5 \ cm$ above the water surface,the height of the water column raised in the tube will be more than $8.75 \ cm$. (Neglect the weight of the water in the meniscus)
$(3)$ For case $I$,if the joint is kept at $8 \ cm$ above the water surface,the height of the water column in the tube will be $7.5 \ cm$. (Neglect the weight of the water in the meniscus)
$(4)$ For case $II$,if the capillary joint is $5 \ cm$ above the water surface,the height of the water column raised in the tube will be $3.75 \ cm$. (Neglect the weight of the water in the meniscus)

$A$ large number of droplets,each of radius $r$,coalesce to form a bigger drop of radius $R$. An engineer designs a machine so that the energy released in this process is converted into the kinetic energy of the drop. The velocity of the drop is ($T=$ surface tension,$\rho =$ density)

As shown in the figure, a liquid is at the same level in both arms of a $U$-tube of uniform cross-section when at rest. If the $U$-tube moves with an acceleration '$f$' towards the right, the difference between the liquid heights in the two arms of the $U$-tube will be (acceleration due to gravity $= g$):
