A vessel, whose bottom has round holes with diameter of 0.1mm, is filled with water. The maximum height to which the water can be filled without leakage is(S.T. of water =75 dyne/cm, g =1000 cm/s2)
30 cm
Let 'N' number of holes are there on the bottom of the vessel Force due to water column = Force exerted due to the surface tension i.e., (Pressure)(Area)=(Surface tension)(Total circumference of holes)
(hρg)Nπr2 = T(2πr)N
