In a capillary tube of area of cross-section 'a' water rises to height 'h'. To what height will water rise in a capillary tube of area of cross-section \(4 a\) ?

  1. A \(4 h\)
  2. B \(2 h\)
  3. C \(\frac{\mathrm{h}}{2}\)
  4. D \(\frac{\mathrm{h}}{4}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{\mathrm{h}}{2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( h \propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{a}} \) \( h_1 \sqrt{a_1} = h_2 \sqrt{a_2} \)
