Water rises upto a height 'h' in a capillary tube on the surface of the earth. The value of ' \(\mathrm{h}\) ' will increase if the experimental setup is kept in \([\mathrm{g}=\) acceleration due
to gravity]

  1. A a lift going upward with a certain acceleration.
  2. B a lift going down with acceleration
  3. C accelerating train.
  4. D a satellite rotating close to earth.
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) a lift going down with acceleration

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

(D)
\(h=\frac{2 T \cos \theta}{r \rho g} \quad \therefore h \propto \frac{1}{g}\)
For a lift going down with acceleration \(a\), the effective value of \(g\) is \(g^{\prime}=g-a\) \(g^{\prime}=g-a\)
\(\mathrm{g}^{\prime} < \mathrm{g} \quad \therefore \mathrm{h}\) will increase.
