Two 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 $1.0 \times 10^{3} \;kg m^{-3}$ $(g = 9.8 \;m s^{-2})$.

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

$A$ capillary tube of radius $r$ is immersed in water and water rises in it to a height $h$. The mass of the water in the capillary tube is $m$. Another capillary of radius $2r$ is immersed in water. The mass of water that will rise in this tube is

When a part of a straight capillary tube is placed vertically in a liquid, the liquid rises up to a certain height $h$. If the inner radius of the capillary tube, density of the liquid, and surface tension of the liquid decrease by $1\%$ each, then the height of the liquid in the tube will change by . . . . . . $\%$.

If the surface tension of water is $0.06 \, N/m$,then the capillary rise in a tube of diameter $1 \, mm$ is ....... $cm$ (assume $\theta = 0^\circ$,$g = 10 \, m/s^2$,and density of water $\rho = 1000 \, kg/m^3$).
