Water rises in a capillary tube of radius \(r\) upto a height \(h\). The mass of water in a capillary is \(m\). The mass of water that will rise in capillary of radius \(\frac{\mathrm{r}}{5}\) will be

  1. A \(\frac{\mathrm{m}}{5}\)
  2. B \(\frac{\mathrm{m}}{2}\)
  3. C m
  4. D \(\frac{\mathrm{m}}{25}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{\mathrm{m}}{5}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(h \propto \frac{1}{r}\) If \(r' = \frac{r}{5}\), then \(h' = 5h\).
