(C) The height of liquid in a capillary tube is given by $h = \frac{2T \cos 	heta}{rdg}$,where $T$ is surface tension,$r$ is the radius,$d$ is density,$g$ is acceleration due to gravity,and $	heta$ is the angle of contact.Rearranging for surface tension: $T = \frac{hrdg}{2 \cos 	heta}$.For water $(1)$ and mercury $(2)$: $\frac{T_1}{T_2} = \frac{h_1}{h_2} 	imes \frac{d_1}{d_2} 	imes \frac{\cos 	heta_2}{\cos 	heta_1}$.Given: $h_1 = 10 	ext{ cm}$,$h_2 = -3.112 	ext{ cm}$ (depression),$d_1 = 1 	ext{ g/cm}^3$,$d_2 = 13.6 	ext{ g/cm}^3$,$	heta_1 = 0^o$,$	heta_2 = 135^o$.Note: For capillary rise/fall,we consider the magnitude of height: $|h_2| = 3.112 	ext{ cm}$.$\frac{T_1}{T_2} = \frac{10}{3.112} 	imes \frac{1}{13.6} 	imes \frac{\cos(135^o)}{\cos(0^o)} = \frac{10}{3.112 	imes 13.6} 	imes \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \approx \frac{10}{42.32} 	imes 0.707 \approx \frac{1}{6}$.

$A$ liquid (density $= 10^3 \ kg/m^3$) rises to a height of $10 \ cm$ in a capillary tube. If the angle of contact of the liquid-glass pair is $0^{\circ}$ and the radius of the tube is $2 \ mm$,then the surface tension of the liquid is:

If a capillary tube of radius $1 \,mm$ is immersed in water, the mass of water rising in the capillary tube is $m$. If the radius of the capillary tube is doubled, then the mass of water that rises in the same capillary tube will be

Water rises in a capillary tube of radius $r$ up to a height $h$. The mass of water in the capillary is $m$. The mass of water that will rise in a capillary tube of radius $\frac{r}{3}$ will be:

When a capillary tube is dipped vertically in water,the rise of water in the capillary is $h$. The angle of contact is $0^{\circ}$. Now,the tube is depressed so that its length above the water surface is $\frac{h}{3}$. The new apparent angle of contact is $(\cos 0^{\circ} = 1)$.
