1) A uniform capillary tube of inner radius r is dipped vertically in to a beaker filled with water. The water rises to a height h in the capillary tube above the water surface in the beaker. The surface tension of the water is σ . The angle of contact between water and the wall of the capillary tube is θ . Ignore the mass of water in the meniscus. Which of the following statements is (are) true ? A) For a given material of the capillary tube, h decreases with increase in r B) For a given material of the capillary tube , h is independent of σ C) If this experiment is performed in a lift going up with a constant acceleration, then h decreases D) h is proportional to contact angleθ Answer: Option (A,C)Explanation:h=2σcosθrρg (a)→hα1r (b) h depends upon σ (c) If lift is going up with constant acceleration geff=(g+a)⇒h=2σcosθrρ(g+a) It means h decreases. (d) h is proportional cosθ
