The surface tension for pure water in a capillary tube experiment is

Water rises in a capillary tube to a certain height such that the upward force due to surface tension is balanced by $75 \times 10^{-4} \, N$ force due to the weight of the liquid. If the surface tension of water is $6 \times 10^{-2} \, N m^{-1}$,the inner circumference of the capillary must be

Liquid $A$ rises to a height of $10 \ cm$ in a capillary tube and liquid $B$ falls to a depth of $2 \ cm$ in the same tube. The densities of $A$ and $B$ are $1 \ g/cm^3$ and $10 \ g/cm^3$ respectively. The contact angles of $A$ and $B$ with the tube are $0^{\circ}$ and $135^{\circ}$ respectively. If the surface tensions of $A$ and $B$ are $S_A$ and $S_B$, then the ratio $\frac{S_B}{S_A}$ is:

The lower end of a capillary tube is dipped into water and it is observed that the water in the capillary tube rises by $7.5 \ cm$. Find the radius of the capillary tube used,if the surface tension of water is $7.5 \times 10^{-2} \ N \ m^{-1}$. The angle of contact between water and glass is $0^{\circ}$ and the acceleration due to gravity is $10 \ m \ s^{-2}$.

In a capillary tube of area of cross-section $a$,water rises to a height $h$. To what height will water rise in a capillary tube of area of cross-section $4a$?
