Angle of Contact & Capillarity

A capillary tube stands with its lower end dipped into liquid for which the angle of contact is 90∘90^\circ. The liquid will

Show answer and solution

Answer: (a)

  1. h=2Tcos⁡θrρgh = \frac{2T\cos\theta}{r\rho g} and cos⁡90∘=0\cos 90^\circ = 0, so h=0h = 0.
  2. The meniscus is flat: the liquid neither rises nor falls. So the answer is (a).
