Water rises to a height of `16.3cm` in a capillary of height `18cm` above the water level. If the tube is cut at a height of `12cm`

A

Water will come as a fountain from the capillary tube.

B

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

C

The height of the water in the capillary will be `10.3cm`

D

Water will flow down the sides of the capillary tube

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
Because if the length available is less than required then water will rise upto available height and adjust its radius of curvature.
