Water rises in a capillary tube to a height such that the upward force of surface tension balances the downward force of $75 \times 10^{-4} \ N$ due to the weight of the water. If the surface tension of water is $12 \times 10^{-2} \ N/m$,the internal circumference of the capillary must be:

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:
