Liquid A rises to a height of 10 cm in a capillary tube and liquid B falls to a depth of 2 cm in the same tube. The density of A and B are 1 g/cm3 and 10 g/cm3 respectively. The contact angle of A and B with the tube is 0° and 135° respectively. If the surface tension of A and B are SA and SB then the ratio SBSA is

  1. A 2
  2. B 22
  3. C 12
  4. D 122
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 22

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Expression of capillary rise is given by, h=4scosθdρg For A, expression is, hA=4sAcos0°dA×ρA×g ⇒10=4sA×1dA×1×g  ...1 For B, expression is, hB=4sBcos135°dB×ρB×g ⇒-2=4sB-12dB×10×g…
