A liquid is coming out from a vertical tube. The relation between the weight of the drop W, surface tension of the liquid T and radius of the tube r is given by, if the angle of contact is zero
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsB
As per the given data the surface tension force is equal to the weight of liquid drop. Hence the
formula can be written as,
The weight of the liquid drop which is supported by surface tension of radius R is 
.Therefore 
is the weight of liquid drop which is supported in capillary rise. Thus, the relation between surface tension T, radius r of tube is 
.
