Given below are two statements:
Statement $I$: The contact angle between a solid and a liquid is a property of the material of the solid and liquid as well.
Statement $II$: The rise of a liquid in a capillary tube does not depend on the inner radius of the tube.
In the light of the above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Statement $I$: The contact angle between a solid and a liquid is a property of the material of the solid and liquid as well.
Statement $II$: The rise of a liquid in a capillary tube does not depend on the inner radius of the tube.

The sap in a tree rises in a system of capillaries of radius $2.5 \times 10^{-5} \, m$. The surface tension of the sap is $7.28 \times 10^{-2} \, N \, m^{-1}$ and the angle of contact is $0^{\circ}$. The maximum height to which the sap can rise in a tree through capillarity action is ...... $m$ (take $\rho_{sap} = 10^3 \, kg \, m^{-3}$ and $g = 9.8 \, m \, s^{-2}$).

View SolutionTwo narrow bores of diameters $3.0 \;mm$ and $6.0 \;mm$ are joined together to form a $U$-tube open at both ends. If the $U$-tube contains water,what is the difference (in $mm$) in its levels in the two limbs of the tube? Surface tension of water at the temperature of the experiment is $7.3 \times 10^{-2} \;N m^{-1}$. Take the angle of contact to be zero and density of water to be $1.0 \times 10^{3} \;kg m^{-3}$ $(g = 9.8 \;m s^{-2})$.

View SolutionLiquid rises to a height $2 \ cm$ in a capillary tube; in that case,the angle of contact between the solid and the liquid is $0^{\circ}$. The tube is lowered more now,so that the capillary is only $1 \ cm$ above the liquid. In this case,the angle of contact between the solid and liquid is $......^{\circ}$.

View SolutionWhen one end of a capillary tube is dipped in water,the height of water column is $h$. The upward force of $105 \text{ dyne}$ due to surface tension is balanced by the force due to the weight of water column. The inner circumference of the capillary tube is (Surface tension of water $= 7 \times 10^{-2} \text{ N/m}$) (in $\text{ cm}$)
Water rises up to height $x$ in a capillary tube immersed vertically in water. When the whole arrangement is taken to a depth $d$ in a mine,the water level rises up to height $Y$. If $R$ is the radius of the earth,then the ratio $Y:x$ is
