The radii of the two columns in U tube are
and
When a liquid of density
(angle of contact is 0°) is filled in it the level difference of liquid in two arms is h The surface tension of liquid is (g = acceleration due to gravity)
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
Let
be the heights to which liquid rises in two columns of radii
and
respectively
then

Where s is the surface tension of liquid
And 
Difference in levels of liquid in two arms of U tube is
