If \(‘M’\) is the mass of water that rises in a capillary tube of radius \(‘r’,\) then mass of water which will rise in a capillary tube of radius \(‘2r’\) is

Pick an option to check your answer.
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(2\,M\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Height of liquid rise in capillary tube \(h = \frac{{2T\cos {\theta _c}}}{{\rho rg}}\)

\( \Rightarrow h \propto \frac{1}{r}\)

When radius becomes double height become half 

\(\therefore h' = \frac{h}{2}\)

\(Now,\,M = \pi {r^2}h \times \rho \,and\,M'\)

\( = \pi {\left( {2r} \right)^2}\left( {h/2} \right) \times \rho  = 2M.\)
