An incompressible liquid is kept in a container having a weightless piston with a hole. A capillary tube of inner radius is dipped vertically into the liquid through the airtight piston hole, as shown in the figure. The air in the container is isothermally compressed from its original volume towith the movable piston.Considering air as an ideal gas, the height of the liquid column in the capillary above the liquid level in is _____.
[Given: Surface tension of the liquid is , atmospheric pressure is , acceleration due to gravity is , density of the liquid is and contact angle of capillary surface with the liquid is zero]

- A factory has a total of three manufacturing units, \(M_1, M_2\), and \(M_3\), which produce bulbs independent of each other. The units \(M_1, M_2\), and \(M_3\) produce bulbs in the proportions of 2:2:1, respectively. It is known that \(20 \%\) of the bulbs produced in the factory are defective. It is also known that, of all the bulbs produced by \(M_1, 15 \%\) are defective. Suppose that, if a randomly chosen bulb produced in the factory is found to be defective, the probability that it was produced by \(M_2\) is \(\frac{2}{5}\).
