Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) neither rise nor fall.

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned}
& \mathrm{h}=\frac{2 \mathrm{~T} \cos \theta}{\rho g r} \\
& \mathrm{~h}=\frac{2 \mathrm{~T} \cos 90}{\rho g r} \\
& \mathrm{~h}=0^{\quad \ldots\left(\cos 90^{\circ}=0\right)}
\end{aligned}\)
Hence, the liquid will neither rise nor fall.
