(N/A) The height $h$ of a liquid column in a capillary tube is given by the formula:
$h = \frac{2T \cos \theta}{r \rho g}$
Where:
$T$ is the surface tension of the liquid.
$\theta$ is the angle of contact between the liquid and the capillary wall.
$r$ is the radius of the capillary tube.
$\rho$ is the density of the liquid.
$g$ is the acceleration due to gravity.

$A$ glass rod of radius $1.0\,mm$ is inserted symmetrically into a vertical capillary tube of radius $2.0\,mm$ such that their lower ends are at the same level. This arrangement is now dipped in water. The height to which water will rise into the tube will be ...... $mm$ (Surface Tension of water $T = 75 \times 10^{-3}\,N/m$,density $\rho = 10^3\,kg/m^3$,$g = 10\,m/s^2$).

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

When one end of a capillary tube is dipped in water,the height of water column is $h$. The upward force of $105 \text{ dyne}$ due to surface tension is balanced by the force due to the weight of water column. The inner circumference of the capillary tube is (Surface tension of water $= 7 \times 10^{-2} \text{ N/m}$) (in $\text{ cm}$)

Ploughing helps to retain water by soil by:

Water rises to a height of $16.3 \, cm$ in a capillary tube of height $18 \, cm$ above the water level. If the tube is cut at a height of $12 \, cm$ above the water level,then:
