Surface tension

Question

Water rise in capillary tube when its one end is dipped vertically in it, is 3 cm. If the surface tension of water is75×10-3N/m, then the diameter of capillary will be (Take angle of contact = 0°)

Moderate

  • A

    0.1 mm

  • B

    0.5 mm

  • C

    1.0 mm

  • D

    2.0 mm

Solution

h=2σcosθrρgorr=2σcosθhρg

orr=2×75×10-3×cos0°3×10-2×103×10=0.5mm
