A container contains two immiscible liquids of density ρ 1 ​ and ρ 2 ​ (ρ 2 ​ >ρ 1 ​ ). A capillary of radius r is inserted in the liquid so that its bottom reaches up to denser liquid. Denser liquid rises in capillary and attains height equal to h which is also equal to column length of lighter liquid. Assuming zero contact angle find the surface tension of the heavier liquid.

Sol: As given options: (A) \(\begin{array}{l} 2\Pi \rho_{2}gh \end{array} \) (B) \(\begin{array}{l} \frac{r\rho_{2}gh}{2} \end{array} \) (C) \(\begin{array}{l} 2\Pi r(\rho_{2} –... View Article
