  • A
    a lift going upward with a certain acceleration.
  • B
    a lift going down with acceleration.
  • C
    an accelerating train.

$A$ glass capillary tube of inner diameter $0.28 \,mm$ is lowered vertically into water in a vessel. The pressure to be applied on the water in the capillary tube so that the water level in the tube is the same as that in the vessel is ............ $\times 10^3 \,N/m^2$ (surface tension of water $= 0.07 \,N/m$ and atmospheric pressure $= 10^5 \,N/m^2$).

Two capillary tubes of radii $0.2 \ cm$ and $0.4 \ cm$ are dipped in the same liquid. The ratio of the heights to which the liquid will rise in the tubes is:
