Angle of Contact & Capillarity

Water rises in a capillary tube of radius rr upto a height hh. The mass of water in a capillary is mm. The mass of water that will rise in a capillary of radius r4\frac{r}{4} will be

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

  1. Weight of column mg=2πrTmg = 2\pi rT, so m∝rm \propto r.
  2. Radius r4⇒\frac{r}{4} \Rightarrow mass m4\frac{m}{4}.
  3. So the answer is (b) m4\frac{m}{4}.
