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).

  • A
    $\frac{4 T}{\rho g}\left[\frac{d_2-d_1}{d_1 d_2}\right]$
  • B
    $\frac{4 T}{\rho g}\left[\frac{d_1 d_2}{d_1+d_2}\right]$
  • C
    $\frac{2 T}{\rho g}\left[\frac{d_2-d_1}{d_1 d_2}\right]$
  • D
    $\frac{2 T}{\rho g}\left[\frac{d_1+d_2}{d_1 d_2}\right]$

Why does the water rise in a capillary tube? Explain.

When a capillary is dipped in water,water rises $0.015 \ m$ in it. If the surface tension of water is $75 \times 10^{-3} \ N/m$,the radius of the capillary is ....... $mm$.

Water rises against gravity in a capillary tube when its one end is dipped into water because

The radius of the bore of a capillary tube is $r$ and the angle of contact of the liquid is $\theta$. When the tube is dipped in the liquid,the radius of curvature of the meniscus of liquid rising in the tube is

$A$ capillary tube stands with its lower end dipped into a liquid for which the angle of contact is $90^{\circ}$. The liquid will
