Physics - Fluid Question with Solution | TestHub
A cylindrical capillary tube of radius is made by joining two capillaries and of different materials having water contact angles of and respectively. The capillary tube is dipped vertically in water in two different configurations, case I and II as shown in figure. Which of the following option(s) is(are) correct?
(Surface tension of water density of water take 
Options:(select one or more)
Answer:
Solution:
Heights if only single material tubes are used of sufficient length,
For tableFor tableWeight of water in meniscus will be different in two cases because angle of contact is differentis correct.
Liquid will rise only upto height ofand meniscus will adjust by changing is radius of curvature. If the liquid goes up in tubethen it will not be able to support the weight of the liquidis incorrect.
For optionRefer diagram below -
Asmaximum height upto which liquid may rise in capillary isAnd length of tube available isWater will rise uptois correct.
For option, Refer figure below -
Here maximum height upto which water can rise in case-,. Also the length of tube available is.Water will rise uptois correct.
