Surface tension
Question

Water rises in a capillary tube to a certain height such that the upward force due to surface tension is balanced by 75 x 10- a N 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

Easy
Solution

 The weight of the liquid column =(2πr)Tcosθ for water θ=0
inner circumference =75×1046×102=125×102m
