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

  • A
    $1.25 \times 10^{-2} \, m$
  • B
    $0.50 \times 10^{-2} \, m$
  • C
    $6.5 \times 10^{-2} \, m$
  • D
    $12.5 \times 10^{-2} \, m$

$A$ capillary tube made of glass is dipped into mercury. Then

Surface tension of two liquids (having same densities), $T_1$ and $T_2$, are measured using the capillary rise method utilizing two tubes with inner radii of $r_1$ and $r_2$ where $r_1 > r_2$. The measured liquid heights in these tubes are $h_1$ and $h_2$ respectively. [Ignore the weight of the liquid above the lowest point of the meniscus]. If $T_1 = T_2$, which of the following relations is satisfied?
