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:

  • A
    $m$
  • B
    $m/3$
  • C
    $m/6$
  • D
    $m/9$

Three liquids of densities $\rho_1, \rho_2$ and $\rho_3$ (with $\rho_1 > \rho_2 > \rho_3$),having the same value of surface tension $T$,rise to the same height in three identical capillaries. The angles of contact $\theta_1, \theta_2$ and $\theta_3$ obey:

When a part of a straight capillary tube is placed vertically in a liquid, the liquid rises up to a certain height $h$. If the inner radius of the capillary tube, density of the liquid, and surface tension of the liquid decrease by $1\%$ each, then the height of the liquid in the tube will change by . . . . . . $\%$.

In a vessel, equal masses of alcohol (specific gravity $0.8$) and water are mixed together. A capillary tube of radius $1 \, mm$ is dipped vertically in it. If the mixture rises to a height of $5 \, cm$ in the capillary tube, the surface tension of the mixture is ....... $dyne/cm$.
