In a capillary tube experiment,a vertical $20 \,cm$ long capillary tube is dipped in water. The water rises up to a height of $8 \,cm$ due to capillary action. If this experiment is conducted in a freely falling elevator,the length of the water column becomes ....... $cm$.

  • A
    $10$
  • B
    $30$
  • C
    $20$

$A$ glass capillary tube is in the shape of a truncated cone with an apex angle $\alpha$ so that its two ends have cross sections of different radii. When dipped in water vertically,water rises in it to a height $h$,where the radius of its cross section is $b$. If the surface tension of water is $S$,its density is $\rho$,and its contact angle with glass is $\theta$,the value of $h$ will be ($g$ is the acceleration due to gravity).
