Surface tension and surface energy
Question

Water rises in a capillary tube to a certain height such that the upward force due to surface tension is balanced by  75×104N force due to the weight of the liquid. If the surface tension of water is 6×102Nm1, the inner circumference of the capillary must be

Moderate
Solution

6×102× Circumference = Force  Circumference =75×1046×102=12.5×102m
