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 :

A

`0.1 m`

B

`0.2 m`

C

`0.98 m`

D

full length of tube

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

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.
