Two tubes of same length and diameters $4 \ mm$ and $8 \ mm$ are joined together to form a $U$-shaped tube open at both the ends. If the $U$-tube contains water,then the difference between the levels of water in the two limbs of the tube is (Surface tension of water at the temperature of experiment is $7.3 \times 10^{-2} \ N \ m^{-1}$,angle of contact $= 0^{\circ}$,density of water $= 1.0 \times 10^3 \ kg \ m^{-3}$ and acceleration due to gravity $= 10 \ m \ s^{-2}$) (in $mm$)

$A$ vertical glass capillary tube of radius $r$ open at both ends contains some water (surface tension $T$ and density $\rho$). If $L$ be the length of the water column,then:

Why is moisture retained in the soil when a farm is ploughed?

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 liquid is the same. The corresponding angles of contact $\theta_1, \theta_2$ and $\theta_3$ are related as:

The quantity on which the rise of liquid in a capillary tube does not depend is
