Question

A capillary tube is dipped in water vertically.Water rises to a height of 10mm. The tube is now tilted and makes an angle 60${}^o$ with vertical.Now water rises to a height of:

• A. 10 mm
• B. 5 mm
• C. 20 mm
• D. 40 mm

Answer 1

The correct option is A 10 mm

If capillary tube is tilted the vertical height of water in tube remains same but volume of the water increases in the tube. So, height of water column will be 10mm.
