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 5 g. Another capillary tube of radius 2r is immersed in water. The mass of water that will rise in this tube is :
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
Given that,
Mass of water in capillary or radius r, m = 5 g
Now, the force of surface tension balances the weight of water in capillary tube,
Here, T and 
are constant
So, 
Hence,
