A capillary tube of radius 'r' is immersed in water and water rises in it to a height 'h'. The mass of the water in the capillary is 5g. Another capillary tube of radius '2r' is immersed in water. The mass of water that will rise in this tube is:
2.5g
5g
10g
20g
Water rises to a height of 10 cm in a capillary tube and mercury falls to a depth of 3.5 cm in the same tube. If the density of mercury is 13.6 g/cc and the angle of contact is 135°, the ratio of surface tension of water and mercury is:
0.15
0.25
0.35
0.45
If a capillary tube is tilted to an angle of 30° with the vertical, the rise of liquid in the tube will be:
Increases
Decreases
Remains the same
Becomes zero
Two capillary tubes of same diameter are dipped in two liquids A and B having densities and () and surface tensions and () respectively. If the angles of contact are same, then:
If , liquid A rises higher
If , liquid A rises higher
If , liquid A rises higher
Both liquids will rise to the same height
The height to which a liquid rises in a capillary tube is inversely proportional to:
The density of the liquid
The surface tension of the liquid
The radius of the tube
The acceleration due to gravity
If the contact angle between a liquid and glass is , the liquid will:
Not rise or fall in the capillary tube
Fall in the capillary tube
Rise in the capillary tube
Form a spherical drop on the glass
Two capillary tubes of radii 0.5 mm and 1 mm are dipped in the same liquid. The ratio of the rise of liquid in the narrow tube to that in the wider tube is:
1
2
0.5
4
The capillary rise of a liquid in a tube depends upon:
Surface tension of the liquid
Radius of the capillary tube
Density of the liquid
All of the above
