The lower end of a capillary tube is dipped into water and it is observed that the water in capillary tube rises by 7.5 cm. Find the radius of the capillary tube used, if surface tension of water is 7.5×10-2 N m-1? Angle of contact between water and glass is 0° and acceleration due to gravity is 10 m s-2.

  1. A 0.2cm
  2. B 0.1cm
  3. C 0.4mm
  4. D 0.2mm
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 0.2mm

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Height of rise of liquid due to surface tension in a capillary tube, h=2Scosθrρg Given that, height of liquid rise h=7.5 cm, surface tension of water S=7.5×10-2 N m-1 and the angle of contact between water and glass is θ=0°…
