Water rises up to a height $h$ in a capillary tube immersed vertically in water. When this whole arrangement is taken to a depth $d$ in a mine,the water level rises up to a height $h^{\prime}$. If $R$ is the radius of the earth,then the ratio $\frac{h}{h^{\prime}}$ is

  • A
    $1+\frac{d}{R}$
  • B
    $1-\frac{d}{R}$
  • C
    $\frac{R+d}{R-d}$
  • D
    $\frac{R-d}{R+d}$

$A$ $U$-tube with limbs of diameters $5\, mm$ and $2\, mm$ contains water of surface tension $7 \times 10^{-2} \, N/m$. The angle of contact is zero and the density of water is $10^3 \, kg/m^3$. If $g = 10 \, m/s^2$,then the difference in the liquid levels of the two limbs is:

It is not possible to write directly on blotting paper or newspaper with an ink pen.

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 $(\cos 0^{\circ} = 1)$.

One end of a capillary tube is dipped in water,the rise of water column is $h$. The upward force of $98 \text{ dyne}$ due to surface tension is balanced by the force due to the weight of the water column. The inner circumference of the capillary is (surface tension of water $= 7 \times 10^{-2} \text{ Nm}^{-1}$) (in $\text{ cm}$)
