  • A
    $h_n / r_n^2 = \text{constant}$
  • B
    $h_n / r_n = \text{constant}$
  • C
    $h_n r_n^2 = \text{constant}$
  • D
    $h_n r_n = \text{constant}$

In a capillary tube,water rises to $3\, mm$. The height of water that will rise in another capillary tube having one-third radius of the first is ........ $mm$.

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 $mm$)

This question has Statement-$I$ and Statement-$II$. Of the four choices given after the statements,choose the one that best describes the two statements.
Statement-$I$: $A$ capillary is dipped in a liquid and liquid rises to a height $h$ in it. As the temperature of the liquid is raised,the height $h$ increases (if the density of the liquid and the angle of contact remain the same).
Statement-$II$: Surface tension of a liquid decreases with the rise in its temperature.

Three liquids of densities $\rho_1, \rho_2$ and $\rho_3$ (with $\rho_1 > \rho_2 > \rho_3$),having the same value of surface tension $T$,rise to the same height in three identical capillaries. The angles of contact $\theta_1, \theta_2$ and $\theta_3$ obey:

The lower end of a glass capillary tube is dipped in water. Water rises to a height of $8 \ cm$. The tube is then broken at a height of $6 \ cm$. The new height of water column and new angle of contact will be $:-$
