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?

$A$ capillary tube of radius $R$ is immersed in water and water rises in it to a height $H$. The mass of water in the capillary tube is $M$. If the radius of the tube is halved,the mass of water that will rise in the capillary tube will now be

When a capillary tube is kept in water, water $......$ in the capillary, while when it is kept in mercury, the mercury $......$ in the capillary. (Choose the correct words: $rising up$ / $depressed$)

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?

When a capillary tube is dipped in water,it rises up to $8 \ cm$ in the tube. What happens when the tube is pushed down such that its end is only $5 \ cm$ above the outside water level?
