Questions  

A conical capillary tube as shown in figure is submerged in a liquid. Contact angle between the liquid and capillary is  0° and the weight of liquid inside the meniscus is to be neglected. T is surface tension of the liquid, rm is radius of the meniscus, g is acceleration due to gravity and  ρ is density of the liquid. Semi-vertex angle of conical tube is  θ

a
The height h in equilibrium is  2Trρg
b
The height h in equilibrium is  2Tcosθrρg
c
The radius of conical tube at the level where meniscus is formed is almost equal to  rmcosθ
d
The radius of conical tube at the level where meniscus is formed is almost equal to  r/cosθ

detailed solution

Correct option is B

r=rmcos⁡θAlso, P0−2Trm+ρgh=P0⇒ h=2Trmρg=2Tcosθrρg
