A liquid rises to a height of 2.4 cm in a glass capillary \(P\). Another glass capillary Q having diameter 80% of capillary P is immersed in the same liquid. The rise of liquid in capillary Q is

  1. A \(2.4 \mathrm{~cm}\)
  2. B \(3.4 \mathrm{~cm}\)
  3. C 3 cm
  4. D \(2.5 \mathrm{~cm}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 3 cm

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(h \propto \frac{1}{r}\) \(h_Q = h_P \frac{r_P}{r_Q}\)
