Question

A capillary tube of 1.2 mm diameter is immersed vertically in water exposed to the atmosphere. Determine how high water will rise in the tube. Take the contact angle at the inner wall of the tube to be 66^{\circ} and the surface tension to be 1.00 N/m.

Solution

Verified
Step 1
1 of 4

Before solving the problem we have to put some assumptions:

  1. There is no contamination on the surfaces of the glass tube.

  2. The condition is steady.

3.The pressure of surrounding is atmospheric .
