Q1
In a capillary tube, how does the viscosity of a fluid affect the height to which it rises?
Higher viscosity leads to higher rise
Higher viscosity leads to lower rise
Viscosity has no effect
It depends on the tube diameter
Show Solution
Copy
Higher viscosity results in a lower height of rise in a capillary tube due to greater resistance to flow.

Q
Q: In a capillary tube, how does the viscosity of a fluid affect the height to which it rises?
Solution:
Higher viscosity results in a lower height of rise in a capillary tube due to greater resistance to flow.
Steps: 5
Show Steps
Step 1: Understand what a capillary tube is. It is a very thin tube that allows liquids to move up inside it.
Step 2: Know what viscosity means. Viscosity is a measure of how thick or sticky a fluid is. Higher viscosity means the fluid is thicker.
Step 3: Realize that when a fluid is placed in a capillary tube, it can rise due to a force called capillary action.
Step 4: Recognize that higher viscosity fluids resist flow more than lower viscosity fluids.
Step 5: Conclude that because higher viscosity fluids resist flow, they do not rise as high in the capillary tube compared to lower viscosity fluids.
