According to Poiseuille's law,the pressure drop per unit length required to overcome viscous forces is $\Delta P = \frac{8 \eta v}{r^2}$,where $r$ is the radius of the cross-section,$v$ is the fluid velocity,and $\eta$ is the coefficient of viscosity. $A$ capillary tube of radius $a$ is dipped in a liquid of density $\rho$,surface tension $T$,and coefficient of viscosity $\eta$. The liquid starts rising in it so that its height $h(t)$ is a function of time $t$. The resulting rate of change of the momentum of the liquid column in the capillary (taking vertically up to be the positive direction and the contact angle to be close to $0^{\circ}$) is $-\pi a^2 \rho gh + F$. Then $F$ is ($g$ is the acceleration due to gravity):

  • A
    $4 \pi Ta + 8 \pi \eta h \frac{dh}{dt}$
  • B
    $4 \pi Ta - 8 \pi \eta h \frac{dh}{dt}$
  • C
    $2 \pi Ta - 8 \pi \eta h \frac{dh}{dt}$
  • D
    $2 \pi Ta + 8 \pi \eta h \frac{dh}{dt}$

The height of a liquid column raised in a capillary tube of a certain radius when dipped in liquid $A$ vertically is $5 \ cm$. If the tube is dipped in a similar manner in another liquid $B$ with surface tension and density double the values of liquid $A$,the height of the liquid column raised in liquid $B$ would be $........ \ m$.

Water rises to a height of $3 \,cm$ in a capillary tube. If the cross-sectional area of the capillary tube is reduced to $1/9$th of its initial area, then the water will rise to a height of: (in $\,cm$)

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?
