Question

A capillary tube of radius 0.20 mm is dipped vertically in water. The height (in cm) of the water column raised in the tube, will be (surface tension of water =0.075 N/m and density of water =1000 kg/m3. Take g=10 m/s2 and contact angle 0).

Solution

We have,

h=2Tcosθrρg

Here, T=0.075 N/m and r=0.20 mm=0.2×103m,ρ=1000 kg/m3,θ=0,g=10 m/s2

h=2×0.075×1(0.20×103)×(1000)(10)

h=0.075 m=7.5 cm
