Water rises in a capillary tube to a certain height such that the upward force due to surface tension is balanced by 75 x 10-4 newton force due to the weight of the liquid. If the surface tension of water is 6×10-2 newton/metre the inner circumference of the capillary must be:

Detailed Solution
Upward force due to surface tension,Fu = (2πR)×Twhere, 2πR --> Circumference of tubeFu = (2πR)×T,Because, surface tension is force per unit length.⇒75×10-4 = (2πR)×6×10-2∴ (2πR) = 75×10-46×10-2 = 12.5×10-2 m
