In a surface tension experiment with a capillary tube water rises upto `0.1 m`. If the same experiment is repeated in an artificial satellite, which is revolving around the earth , water will rise in the capillary tube upto a height of :

Options

A. `0.1 m`
B. `0.2 m`
C. `0.98 m`
D. full length of tube

Answer

D

Explanation

In the satellite, `g_(eff)` becomes zero but the surface tension still prevails. Hence the water will experience only surface Tension force which will push it fully outward.
