Water rises to a height of $15 \,mm$ in a capillary tube having cross-sectional area $A$. If the cross-sectional area of the tube is made $A / 3$, then the water will rise to a height of:

  • A
    $15 \sqrt{3} \times 10^{-3} \,m$
  • B
    $20 \sqrt{3} \times 10^{-3} \,m$
  • C
    $5 \sqrt{3} \times 10^{-3} \,m$
  • D
    $10 \sqrt{3} \times 10^{-3} \,m$

When one end of a capillary tube is dipped in water,the height of water column is $h$. The upward force of $105 \text{ dyne}$ due to surface tension is balanced by the force due to the weight of water column. The inner circumference of the capillary tube is (Surface tension of water $= 7 \times 10^{-2} \text{ N/m}$) (in $\text{ cm}$)

Wax is coated on the inner wall of a capillary tube and the tube is then dipped in water. Then,compared to the unwaxed capillary,the angle of contact $\theta$ and the height $h$ up to which water rises change. These changes are:

The angle of contact between glass and water is $0^\circ$ and it rises in a capillary up to $6 \text{ cm}$ when its surface tension is $70 \text{ dynes/cm}$. Another liquid of surface tension $140 \text{ dynes/cm}$,angle of contact $60^\circ$ and relative density $2$ will rise in the same capillary by ........ $\text{cm}$.

In a capillary tube of area of cross-section '$a$',water rises to a height '$h$'. To what height will water rise in a capillary tube of area of cross-section $4a$?

On putting a capillary tube in a pot filled with water,the level of water rises up to a height of $4 \,cm$ in the tube. If a tube of half the diameter is used instead,the water will rise to a height of nearly ............. $cm$.
