Write the formula for the height of a liquid column in a capillary tube.

Given below are two statements:
$Statement$ $I$: If a capillary tube is immersed first in cold water and then in hot water,the height of capillary rise will be smaller in hot water.
$Statement$ $II$: If a capillary tube is immersed first in cold water and then in hot water,the height of capillary rise will be smaller in cold water.
In the light of the above statements,choose the most appropriate from the options given below:

When a capillary tube is dipped vertically in water,the rise of water in the capillary is $h$. The angle of contact is $0^{\circ}$. Now,the tube is depressed so that its length above the water surface is $\frac{h}{3}$. The new apparent angle of contact is $(\cos 0^{\circ} = 1)$.

Water rises to a height of $20 \,mm$ in a capillary tube of cross-sectional area $A$. If the area of cross-section of the tube is made $\frac{A}{4}$, then water will rise to a height of (in $\,cm$)

The water rises in the capillary to a height of $10\, cm$. If the surface tension of water is $73 \times 10^{-3}\, N/m$,density is $10^3\, kg/m^3$ and $g = 9.8\, m/s^2$,then find the radius of the capillary. (in $, cm$)
