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 $\,cm$)

Identify the correct figure which shows the relation between the height of water column in a capillary tube and the capillary radius.

Two narrow bores of diameter $5.0 \, mm$ and $8.0 \, mm$ are joined together to form a $U$-shaped tube open at both ends. If this $U$-tube contains water,what is the difference in the level of two limbs of the tube? [Take surface tension of water $T = 7.3 \times 10^{-2} \, Nm^{-1}$,angle of contact $= 0$,$g = 10 \, ms^{-2}$ and density of water $\rho = 1.0 \times 10^{3} \, kg \, m^{-3}$] (in $mm$)

Write the formula for the height of a liquid column in a capillary tube.

Water rises to a height of $10 \ cm$ in a certain capillary tube. Another identical tube when dipped in mercury,the level of mercury is depressed by $3.42 \ cm$. The density of mercury is $13.6 \ g/cc$. The angle of contact for water in contact with glass is $0^o$ and for mercury in contact with glass is $135^o$. The ratio of the surface tension of water to that of $Hg$ is:
