Two capillary tubes of the same diameter are kept vertically in two different liquids whose densities are in the ratio $4:3$. The rise of liquid in two capillaries is $h_1$ and $h_2$ respectively. If the surface tensions of liquids are in the ratio $6:5$,the ratio of heights $\left(\frac{h_1}{h_2}\right)$ is (Assume that their angles of contact are same).

Water rises up to a height $h$ in a capillary tube on the surface of the Earth in a stationary condition. The value of $h$ increases if this tube is taken:

$A$ glass capillary tube is in the shape of a truncated cone with an apex angle $\alpha$ so that its two ends have cross sections of different radii. When dipped in water vertically,water rises in it to a height $h$,where the radius of its cross section is $b$. If the surface tension of water is $S$,its density is $\rho$,and its contact angle with glass is $\theta$,the value of $h$ will be ($g$ is the acceleration due to gravity).

Two narrow tubes of diameters $d_1$ and $d_2$ are joined together to form a $U$-tube open at both ends. If the $U$-tube contains water,the difference in water levels in the limbs is ($T$ is the surface tension of water,the angle of contact is zero,the density of water is $\rho$,and $g$ is the acceleration due to gravity).

If the diameter of a capillary tube is doubled,then the height of the liquid that will rise is

Two parallel glass plates are dipped partly in a liquid of density $d$ while keeping them vertical. If the distance between the plates is $x$, the surface tension of the liquid is $T$, and the angle of contact is $\theta$, then the rise of the liquid between the plates due to capillarity will be:
