When one end of a capillary tube is dipped in water,the height of the water column is $h$. The upward force of $108 \ dyne$ due to surface tension is balanced by the force due to the weight of the water column. What is the inner circumference of the capillary (in $cm$)? (Surface tension of water $T = 7.2 \times 10^{-2} \ N/m$)

$A$ capillary tube made of glass with a radius of $0.15\, mm$ is dipped vertically in a beaker filled with methylene iodide (surface tension $= 0.05\, N m^{-1}$,density $= 667\, kg m^{-3}$),which rises to a height $h$ in the tube. It is observed that the two tangents drawn from the liquid-glass interfaces (from opposite sides of the capillary) make an angle of $60^{\circ}$ with one another. Then $h$ is close to $...... m$ $(g = 10\, m s^{-2})$

The heat evolved for the rise of water when one end of the capillary tube of radius $r$ is immersed vertically into water is (Assume surface tension $= T$ and density of water to be $\rho$)

Two capillaries of the same material but of different radii are dipped in a liquid. In one of the capillaries,the liquid rises to a height of $22 \ cm$ and in the other to $66 \ cm$. The ratio of their radii is

In a capillary tube of radius '$R$',a straight thin metal wire of radius '$r$' is inserted symmetrically and one end of the combination is dipped vertically in water such that the lower end of the capillary and the thin wire are at the same level. If '$T$' is the surface tension of water and '$\rho$' is the density of water, then the rise of water in the capillary is:

In a capillary tube,water rises to $3\, mm$. The height of water that will rise in another capillary tube having one-third radius of the first is ........ $mm$.
