$A$ capillary tube is immersed vertically in water and the height of the water column is $x$. When this arrangement is taken into a mine of depth $d$,the height of the water column is $y$. If $R$ is the radius of earth,the ratio $\frac{x}{y}$ is

  • A
    $\left( 1 - \frac{d}{R} \right)$
  • B
    $\left( 1 - \frac{2d}{R} \right)$
  • C
    $\left( \frac{R - d}{R + d} \right)$
  • D
    $\left( \frac{R + d}{R - d} \right)$

Water rises to a height of $10$ cm in a capillary tube and mercury falls to a depth of $3.112$ cm in the same capillary tube. If the density of mercury is $13.6 \text{ g/cm}^3$ and the angle of contact for mercury is $135^o$,the ratio of surface tension of water and mercury is (Assume density of water = $1 \text{ g/cm}^3$ and angle of contact for water = $0^o$)

If the diameter of a capillary tube is doubled,then the height of the liquid that will rise is

Water rises up to height $x$ in a capillary tube immersed vertically in water. When the whole arrangement is taken to a depth $d$ in a mine,the water level rises up to height $Y$. If $R$ is the radius of the earth,then the ratio $Y:x$ is

Wax is coated on the inner wall of a capillary tube and the tube is then dipped in water. Then,compared to the unwaxed capillary,the angle of contact $\theta$ and the height $h$ up to which water rises change. These changes are:

The maximum length of a water column that can stay without falling in a vertically held capillary tube of diameter $1 \ mm$ and open at both ends is (Acceleration due to gravity $= 10 \ ms^{-2}$ and surface tension of water $= 0.07 \ Nm^{-1}$) (in $cm$)
