$A$ capillary tube of radius $0.1 \,mm$ is dipped in water. The water rises to a height of $2 \,cm$ in the tube. If the surface tension of water is $0.072 \,N/m$, the contact angle between water and the wall of the tube is:

  • A
    $\theta = \cos^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{3.6}\right)$
  • B
    $\theta = \cos^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{7.2}\right)$
  • C
    $\theta = \cos^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{1.8}\right)$
  • D
    $\theta = \cos^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{6.2}\right)$

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

Two vertical parallel plates are partially submerged in water. The distance between the plates is equal to $d$. Water rises due to surface tension $T$,the width of the plates is $l$,and the contact angle of water with glass is $0^o$. Find the force of attraction between the plates.

If $M$ is the mass of water that rises in a capillary tube of radius $r,$ then the mass of water which will rise in a capillary tube of radius $2r$ is

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 . . . . . . $\%$.

Two narrow tubes of diameters $d_1$ and $d_2$ are joined together to form a $U$-tube open at both ends. If the $U$-tube contains water,the difference in water levels in the limbs is ($T$ is the surface tension of water,the angle of contact is zero,the density of water is $\rho$,and $g$ is the acceleration due to gravity).
