Acceleration Due to Gravity

Water rises up to height ' xx ' in a capillary tube immersed vertically in water. When the whole arrangement is taken to a depth ' dd ' in a mine, the water level rises up to height Y. If R is the radius of the earth then the ratio Y:xY : x is

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

  1. Capillary rise h∝1gh \propto \frac{1}{g}
  2. At depth dd: gd=g R−dRg_d = g\,\frac{R-d}{R}
  3. Yx=ggd=RR−d\frac{Y}{x} = \frac{g}{g_d} = \frac{R}{R-d}
  4. So the answer is (b) R:(R−d)R : (R-d).
