Q1
If a capillary tube has a radius of 0.5 mm and the surface tension of the liquid is 0.072 N/m, what is the height of the liquid column in the tube? (Assume density = 1000 kg/m³)
0.0144 m
0.072 m
0.0288 m
0.036 m
Height = (2 × Surface Tension) / (Density × g × Radius) = (2 × 0.072 N/m) / (1000 kg/m³ × 9.81 m/s² × 0.0005 m) = 0.0144 m.

Q: If a capillary tube has a radius of 0.5 mm and the surface tension of the liquid is 0.072 N/m, what is the height of the liquid column in the tube? (Assume density = 1000 kg/m³)
Solution: Height = (2 × Surface Tension) / (Density × g × Radius) = (2 × 0.072 N/m) / (1000 kg/m³ × 9.81 m/s² × 0.0005 m) = 0.0144 m.
