A capillary tube of radius r can support a liquid of weight 6.28 xx 10^(-4) N. If the surface tension of the liquid is 5 xx 10^(-2) N/m. The radius of the capillary must be:

Answer»

`2.5xx10^(-4)m`
`1.5xx10^(-3)m`
`2.0xx10^(-4)m`
`2.0xx10^(-3)m`

Solution :WEIGHT is balanced by force of surface tension
W=T.2`pi`R
`rArrr=W/(2piT)=(6.28xx10^(-4))/(2x3.14xx5xx10^(-2))`
`=1/5xx10^(-2)=2XX10^(-3)m`
Thus the CORRECT choice is (d).
