Question

The following observations were taken for determining surface tension T of water by capillary method. Diameter of capillary, D=1.25×102 m rise of water, h=1.45×102 m.
Using g=9.80m/s2and the simplified relation T=rgh2×103 N/m , the possible error in surface tension is closest to

Solution

The correct option is C 1.5 %
T=rgh2×103 N/m
Δr=0.01 mΔh=0.01 mΔTT=(Δrr+(Δhh=0.011.25+0.011.45$

ΔTT×100 = (1125+1145)×100 = 0.8+0.69 =1.5 %
