The radius of capillary tube is 1.4mm. Water of height 0.28xx10^-4N rise in the capillary tube, when it is vertically dipped in water. What is the surface tension of water? |

Answer» SOLUTION :The upward force due to ST = `2pir XX T` [because` T = F/l]` and the down ward force = WEIGHT of the lifted WATER. `therefore T xx 2pir = 6.28 xx 10^-4` `therefore T = (6.28 xx 10^-4)/(2 xx 3.14 xx 1.4 xx 10^-3) = (10^-1)/1.4 = 7 xx 10^-2 N/m` |
