Find the height of liquid in capillary tube, if surface tension of liquid = S , radius of capillary tube = r and acceleration due to gravity = g .
Options
- A2 S r g
- B2 S rg
- C2 S r g
- DNone of these
Correct answer
A. 2 S r g
Step-by-step solution
Height of liquid in a capillary tube (Ascent formula) is given by H = 2 S rg where, S= surface tension, = density of liquid, r= radius of capillary and = angle of contact.
