A long capillary tube of mass '' gm, radius 2 mm and negligible thickness, is partially immersed in a liquid of surface tension 0.1 N/m. Take angle of contact zero and neglect buoyant force of liquid. The force required to hold the tube vertically, will be ()
The free body diagram of the capillary tube is as shown in the figure. Net force F required to hold tube is
F = force due to surface tension at cross-section
=
