If water rises in a capillary tube up to $3 \, cm$,what is the diameter of the capillary tube? (Surface tension of water $T = 7.2 \times 10^{-2} \, N/m$,density $\rho = 10^3 \, kg/m^3$,$g = 10 \, m/s^2$)

  • A
    $9.6 \times 10^{-4} \, m$
  • B

  • C
    $9.6 \times 10^{-2} \, m$
  • D
    $9.6 \times 10^{-1} \, m$

Two capillary tubes of same diameter are put vertically one each in two liquids whose relative densities are $0.8$ and $0.6$ and surface tensions are $60$ and $50 \text{ dyne/cm}$ respectively. The ratio of the heights of the liquids in the two tubes $\frac{h_1}{h_2}$ is:

The radius of a capillary tube is $2 \times 10^{-3} \ m$. If a liquid of weight $6.28 \times 10^{-4} \ N$ can be supported in the capillary,what is the surface tension of the liquid?

$A$ capillary tube of radius $0.1 \ mm$ is partly dipped in water (surface tension $70 \ dyn/cm$ and glass-water contact angle $\simeq 0^{\circ}$) inclined at $30^{\circ}$ with the vertical. The length of water risen in the capillary is . . . . . . $cm$. (Take $g = 980 \ cm/s^2$)

It is not possible to write directly on blotting paper or newspaper with an ink pen.

When a long glass capillary tube of radius $0.015 \; cm$ is dipped in a liquid,the liquid rises to a height of $15 \; cm$ within it. If the contact angle between the liquid and glass is close to $0^{\circ}$,the surface tension of the liquid,in $milliNewton \; m^{-1}$ is $.....$
