1.	Consider a capillary tube in which water has risen. The contact angle is θ. The radius of the capillary tube is ‘r’.The surface tension is ‘S’. And the density of water is ‘ρ’. What is the expression for the height of water risen in the tube? Assume the radius of meniscus to be ‘R’. Let the height of water risen in the tube be ‘h’.(a) 2Ssinθ / Rρg(b) 2S / Rρg(c) 2Scosθ / Rρg(d) 2S / rρgThis question was addressed to me in my homework.This key question is from Fluids Mechanical Properties topic in portion Mechanical Properties of Fluids of Physics – Class 11
Answer» Correct choice is (b) 2S / Rρg Best explanation: In the given diagram the surface tension force will be ACTING along the RED tangent. THEREFORE, the force is 2πrcosθS.This will be BALANCED by the WEIGHT of water risen in the tube. ∴ πr^2 hρg = 2πrcosθS ∴ h = 2Scosθ / rρg = 2S / Rρg.(∵cosθ = r/R)
