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 in a capillary tube up to a height $h$. If this capillary tube is tilted by an angle of $45^o$,then the length of the water column in the capillary tube becomes

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 $mm$)

When one end of a capillary tube is dipped in water,the height of the water column is $h$. The upward force of $108 \ dyne$ due to surface tension is balanced by the force due to the weight of the water column. What is the inner circumference of the capillary (in $cm$)? (Surface tension of water $T = 7.2 \times 10^{-2} \ N/m$)
