$A$ capillary tube is immersed vertically in water,and the water rises to a height $h_1$ on the Earth's surface. When this arrangement is taken into a mine of depth $d$ below the Earth's surface,the height of the water column is $h_2$. If $R$ is the radius of the Earth,the ratio $\frac{h_2}{h_1}$ is:

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