Two parallel glass plates are dipped partly in a liquid of density $d$ while keeping them vertical. If the distance between the plates is $x$, the surface tension of the liquid is $T$, and the angle of contact is $\theta$, then the rise of the liquid between the plates due to capillarity will be:

If a capillary experiment is performed in a vacuum,what happens to the liquid level in the capillary tube?

What is capillary action? Derive the formula for the rise of liquid in a capillary tube immersed vertically in a liquid.

Two narrow tubes of diameters $d_1$ and $d_2$ are joined together to form a $U$-tube open at both ends. If the $U$-tube contains water,the difference in water levels in the limbs is ($T$ is the surface tension of water,the angle of contact is zero,the density of water is $\rho$,and $g$ is the acceleration due to gravity).

$A$ capillary tube made of glass with a radius of $0.15\, mm$ is dipped vertically in a beaker filled with methylene iodide (surface tension $= 0.05\, N m^{-1}$,density $= 667\, kg m^{-3}$),which rises to a height $h$ in the tube. It is observed that the two tangents drawn from the liquid-glass interfaces (from opposite sides of the capillary) make an angle of $60^{\circ}$ with one another. Then $h$ is close to $...... m$ $(g = 10\, m s^{-2})$

What is capillarity? Give two practical illustrations of capillarity.
