Two vertical parallel glass plates are partially submerged in water. The distance between the plates is d and the length is `l`. Assume that the water between the plates does not reach the upper edges of the plates and the wetting is complete. The water will rise to height (`rho=` density of water and `alpha =` surface tension of water)A. `(2sigma)/(rhogh)`B. `(sigma)/(2rhogd)`C. `(4sigma)/(rhogd)`D. `(5sigma)/(rhogd)`

Answer» Correct Answer - A
Total upward force dur to surface tension `=2sigmal`
Weight of lifted liquid `=(hld)rhog`
Equating we get `h=(2sigma)/(rhogd)`
