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:

  • A
    $\frac{T \cos \theta}{xd}$
  • B
    $\frac{2T \cos \theta}{xdg}$
  • C
    $\frac{2T}{xdg \cos \theta}$
  • D
    $\frac{T \cos \theta}{xdg}$
