Two parallel glass plates are dipped partly in the liquid of density ‘d’. keeping them vertical. If the distance between the plates is ‘x’, Surface tension for liquid is T & angle of contact is θ then rise of liquid between the plates due to capillary will be:
A
B
C
D
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
By balancing forces T × (2 λ ) × (cos θ) = d x λ h g
we get h =
