Water rises against gravity in a capillary tube when its one end is dipped into water because

The sap in trees,which consists mainly of water in summer,rises in a system of capillaries of radius $r = 2.5 \times 10^{-5} \ m$. The surface tension of sap is $T = 7.28 \times 10^{-2} \ N/m$ and the angle of contact is $0^{\circ}$. Does surface tension alone account for the supply of water to the top of all trees?

The height up to which water will rise in a capillary tube will be

Two capillary tubes of radii $R$ and $2R$ are dipped in water. The water rises to heights $h_1$ and $h_2$ respectively in the two tubes. If $m_1$ and $m_2$ be the masses of water ascended in the tubes,then $m_1: m_2=$

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 $mm$)
