Question

The height of liquid column raised in a capillary tube of certain radius when dipped in liquid A vertically is 5 cm. If the tube is dipped in a similar manner in another liquid B of surface tension and density double the values of liquid A, the height of liquid column raised in liquid B would be:

G1 Physics · Accepted Answer

Capillary rise h = 2S cosθ/(rρg). If both surface tension and density are doubled and other quantities are unchanged, S/ρ remains unchanged. Hence h remains 5 cm = 0.05 m.
