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. `(2T)/(drhog)`B. `(T)/(2drhog)`C. `(T)/(drhog)`D. None of these

Answer» Upward force due to surface tension is balanced by the weight of the liquid which rises in the gap, so `2T.b=bdhrhog`
Where `b=` width of the plates `:. h=(2T)/(drhog)`
