$A$ capillary tube of radius $R$ is immersed in water and water rises in it to a height $H$. The mass of water in the capillary tube is $M$. If the radius of the tube is halved,the mass of water that will rise in the capillary tube will now be

  • A
    $M$
  • B
    $M/2$
  • C
    $2M$
  • D
    $4M$

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

$A$ capillary tube is immersed vertically in water and the height of the water column is $x$. When this arrangement is taken into a mine of depth $d$,the height of the water column is $y$. If $R$ is the radius of earth,the ratio $\frac{x}{y}$ is

Two capillary tubes of radii $R$ and $2R$ are dipped in water. The water rises to heights $h_1$ and $h_2$ respectively in the two tubes. If $m_1$ and $m_2$ be the masses of water ascended in the tubes,then $m_1: m_2=$

The following observations were taken for determining surface tension $T$ of water by the capillary method:
Diameter of capillary,$D = 1.25 \times 10^{-2} \; m$
Rise of water,$h = 1.45 \times 10^{-2} \; m$
Using $g = 9.80 \; m/s^2$ and the simplified relation $T = \frac{rhg}{2} \times 10^3 \; N/m$,the possible error in surface tension is ........... $\%$. (Assume the least count of the measuring instrument is $0.01 \times 10^{-2} \; m$)
