$A$ uniform capillary tube of inner radius $r$ is dipped vertically into a beaker filled with water. The water rises to a height $h$ in the capillary tube above the water surface in the beaker. The surface tension of water is $\sigma$. The angle of contact between water and the wall of the capillary tube is $\theta$. Ignore the mass of water in the meniscus. Which of the following statements is (are) true?
$(A)$ For a given material of the capillary tube,$h$ decreases with increase in $r$.
$(B)$ For a given material of the capillary tube,$h$ is independent of $\sigma$.

$(D)$ $h$ is proportional to contact angle $\theta$.

Surface tension of two liquids (having same densities),$T_1$ and $T_2$,are measured using the capillary rise method utilizing two tubes with inner radii of $r_1$ and $r_2$ where $r_1 > r_2$. The measured liquid heights in these tubes are $h_1$ and $h_2$ respectively. [Ignore the weight of the liquid above the lowest point of the meniscus]. If $T_1 = T_2$,which of the following relations is satisfied?

$A$ $20 \ cm$ long capillary tube is dipped in water. The water rises up to $8 \ cm$. If the entire arrangement is put in a freely falling elevator,the length of the water column in the capillary tube will be (in $cm$)?

In a surface tension experiment with a capillary tube,water rises up to $0.1\, m$. If the same experiment is repeated on an artificial satellite,which is revolving around the Earth,water will rise in the capillary tube up to a height of:
