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
    $h_1 < h_2$ and $T_1 = T_2$
  • B
    $h_1 = h_2$ and $T_1 = T_2$
  • C
    $h_1 > h_2$ and $T_1 = T_2$
  • D
    $h_1 > h_2$ and $T_1 < T_2$

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.

Water rises to a height of $10 \,cm$ in a capillary tube. In which of the following conditions will it rise to a height much greater than $10 \,cm$ in a very long capillary tube?

Two capillary tubes of same diameter are kept vertically in two liquids whose densities are in the ratio $4:3$. If their surface tensions are in the ratio $6:5$,the ratio of heights $\left(\frac{h_1}{h_2}\right)$ of liquids in the two capillary tubes is (Their angle of contacts are same).
