Water rises in a capillary tube to a height `h`. It will rise to a height more than `h`

A

on the surface of sun

B

in a lift moving down with an acceleration

C

at the poles

D

in a lift moving up with an acceleration

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

Water will rise to a height more than `h` when downward force `(mg_(eff))` becomes lesser than `mg`.
so in a left accelarating downwards, `g_(eff)` is `(g - a_(0))`. Hence capillary rise is more.
On the poles `g_(eff)` is even more than `g`. Hence the capillary will even drop.
