The sap in trees, which consists mainly of water in summer, rises in a system of capillaries of radius `r = 2.5 xx 10^(-5) m.` The surface tension of sap is `T =7.28 xx 10^(-2) Nm^(-1)` and the angle of contact is `0^@.` Does surface tension alone ac count for the supply of water to the top of all tress ?
