Two capillaries made of the same material but of different radii are dipped in a liquid. The rise of liquid in one capillary is $2.2 \ cm$ and that in the other is $6.6 \ cm$. The ratio of their radii is

The correct curve between the height or depression $h$ of liquid in a capillary tube and its radius $r$ is

$A$ glass rod of radius $1.0\,mm$ is inserted symmetrically into a vertical capillary tube of radius $2.0\,mm$ such that their lower ends are at the same level. This arrangement is now dipped in water. The height to which water will rise into the tube will be ...... $mm$ (Surface Tension of water $T = 75 \times 10^{-3}\,N/m$,density $\rho = 10^3\,kg/m^3$,$g = 10\,m/s^2$).

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

Water rises in a capillary tube to a height such that the upward force of surface tension balances the downward force of $75 \times 10^{-4} \ N$ due to the weight of the water. If the surface tension of water is $12 \times 10^{-2} \ N/m$,the internal circumference of the capillary must be:
