Water rises to a height of 10.3 cm in a capilaary of height 18 cm above the water level. If the tube is out at a height of 12 cm in the capillary tube

A

water will come as a fountain from the capillary tube

B

water will stay at a height of 12 cm in the capillary tube

C

the height of water in the capillary tube will be 10.3 cm

D

water height flow down the sides of the capillary tube

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
There will be no over flowing of liquid in a tube of insufficient height but there will be adjustment of the radius of curvature of meniscus, so that hR = a finite constant.
