Water rises up to a height $h$ in a capillary tube immersed vertically in water. When this whole arrangement is taken to a depth $d$ in a mine,the water level rises up to a height $h^{\prime}$. If $R$ is the radius of the earth,then the ratio $\frac{h}{h^{\prime}}$ is

  • A
    $1+\frac{d}{R}$
  • B
    $1-\frac{d}{R}$
  • C
    $\frac{R+d}{R-d}$
  • D
    $\frac{R-d}{R+d}$

Two capillary tubes of the same diameter are kept vertically in two different liquids whose densities are in the ratio $4:3$. The rise of liquid in two capillaries is $h_1$ and $h_2$ respectively. If the surface tensions of liquids are in the ratio $6:5$,the ratio of heights $\left(\frac{h_1}{h_2}\right)$ is (Assume that their angles of contact are same).

In an experiment to find the surface tension of mercury with the help of the capillary rise method,the liquid column in the capillary will:

Given below are two statements:
$Statement$ $I$: If a capillary tube is immersed first in cold water and then in hot water,the height of capillary rise will be smaller in hot water.
$Statement$ $II$: If a capillary tube is immersed first in cold water and then in hot water,the height of capillary rise will be smaller in cold water.
In the light of the above statements,choose the most appropriate from the options given below:
