Two narrow bores of diameter $5.0 \, mm$ and $8.0 \, mm$ are joined together to form a $U$-shaped tube open at both ends. If this $U$-tube contains water,what is the difference in the level of two limbs of the tube? [Take surface tension of water $T = 7.3 \times 10^{-2} \, Nm^{-1}$,angle of contact $= 0$,$g = 10 \, ms^{-2}$ and density of water $\rho = 1.0 \times 10^{3} \, kg \, m^{-3}$] (in $mm$)

  • A
    $3.62$
  • B
    $2.19$
  • C
    $5.34$
  • D
    $4.97$

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

Water rises in a capillary tube of radius $r$ up to a height $h$. The mass of water in the capillary is $m$. The mass of water that will rise in a capillary of radius $r/3$ will be:

Water rises to a height of $20 \ mm$ in a capillary tube. If the radius of the capillary tube is made $\frac{1}{3}rd$ of its previous value,what is the new height of the capillary rise (in $mm$)?
