Water rises up to height $x$ in a capillary tube immersed vertically in water. When the whole arrangement is taken to a depth $d$ in a mine,the water level rises up to height $Y$. If $R$ is the radius of the earth,then the ratio $Y:x$ is

  • A
    $R:(R+d)$
  • B
    $R:(R-d)$
  • C
    $R:(R-d)^2$
  • D
    $R:(R+d)^2$

$A$ glass capillary tube is in the shape of a truncated cone with an apex angle $\alpha$ so that its two ends have cross sections of different radii. When dipped in water vertically,water rises in it to a height $h$,where the radius of its cross section is $b$. If the surface tension of water is $S$,its density is $\rho$,and its contact angle with glass is $\theta$,the value of $h$ will be ($g$ is the acceleration due to gravity).

This question has Statement-$I$ and Statement-$II$. Of the four choices given after the statements,choose the one that best describes the two statements.
Statement-$I$: $A$ capillary is dipped in a liquid and liquid rises to a height $h$ in it. As the temperature of the liquid is raised,the height $h$ increases (if the density of the liquid and the angle of contact remain the same).
Statement-$II$: Surface tension of a liquid decreases with the rise in its temperature.

When a capillary tube is dipped vertically in water,the water rises to a height of $2.0 \, cm$. If the capillary tube is tilted at an angle of $60^\circ$ with the vertical,what will be the length of the water column in the capillary tube in $cm$?

Two capillary tubes of same diameter are kept vertically in two liquids whose densities are in the ratio $4:3$. If their surface tensions are in the ratio $6:5$,the ratio of heights $\left(\frac{h_1}{h_2}\right)$ of liquids in the two capillary tubes is (Their angle of contacts are same).

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 ........ $\text{cm}$.
