Water rises in a capillary tube to a certain height such that the upward force due to surface tension is balanced by `75xx10^-4` newton force due to the weight of the liquid. If the surface tension of water is `6xx`10^-2` newton/metre the inner circumference of the capillary must be:A. `1.25xx10^(-2)m`B. `0.50xx10^(-2)m`C. `6.5xx10^(-2)m`D. `12.5xx10^(-2)m`

Answer» Correct Answer - D
Weight of liquid = upward force due to surface tension
`75xx10^(-4) = 2pirT`
Circumference `2pir = (75xx10^(-4))/(T) = (75xx10^(-4))/(6xx10^(-2)) = 0.125 = 12.5xx10^(-2)m`
