Angle of Contact & Capillarity

A capillary tube is taken from earth's surface to moon's surface. The rise of liquid column on the moon's surface is (acceleration due to gravity on the earth's surface is six times that of moon's surface)

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

$h \propto \frac{1}{g}$ for the same tube and liquid.
$g_{\text{moon}} = \frac{g}{6} \Rightarrow h_{\text{moon}} = 6h$ .
So the answer is (b) six times that on the earth's surface.
