Q.

Two narrow bores of diameter 5.0 mm and 8.0 mm are joined together to form a U - shaped tube open at the both ends. If this U-tube contains water, what is the difference in the level of two limbs of the tube?

[ Take surface tension of water T=7.3×10-2Nm-1, angle of contact =0, g = 10ms-2 and density of water =1.0×103kgm-3]

Detailed Solution

Given,

d1=5mm, d2=8mm

The difference in capillary rise between the two arms of the U-tube will match the level difference between them.

The capillary rise h = 2Tcosθrρg

h1=2×7.3×10-22.5×10-3×103×10=5.84mm 

h2=2×7.3×10-24×10-3×103×10=3.65mm

The level difference is

Δh=h1-h2=5.843.65=2.19 mm

Hence the correct answer is 2.19mm.
