Detailed Solution

$h = \frac{2 T}{Rdg} \Rightarrow hR = \frac{2 T}{dg} ∴ hR = constant$

Hence when the tube is of insufficient length, radius of curvature of the liquid meniscus increases, so as to maintain the product hR a finite constant.

i.e., as h decreases, R increases and the liquid meniscus becomes more and more flat, but the liquid does not overflow.
