JEE Mains · Physics · STD 11 - 9.2 surface tension

When a part of a straight capillary tube is placed vertically in a liquid, the liquid raises upto certain height h. If the inner radius of the capillary tube, density of the liquid and surface tension of the liquid decrease by 1% each, then the height of the liquid in the tube will change by __________ %.

  1. A -1
  2. B +3
  3. C -3
  4. D +1

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) +1

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( h=\frac{2T \cos \theta}{\rho gr} \) \( \frac{\Delta h}{h}\%=\frac{\Delta T}{T}\%-\frac{\Delta\rho}{\rho}\%-\frac{\Delta r}{r}\% \) \(\frac{\Delta h }{ h } \%=1+1+1\) \( \frac{\Delta h}{h}=+1\% \)
