Mercury has an angle of contact equal to 140^(@) with soda lime galss. A narrow tube of radius 1.00mm made of this glass is dipped in a through containing mercury. By what amount does the mercury dip down in the tube relative to the mercury surface outside? Surface tension of mercury at the temperature of the experiment is 0.465 Nm^(-1) . Density of mercury = 13.6xx10^(3) kg m^(-3) .

Water rises up in a glass capillary upto a heigh 10 cm, while mercury falls down by 3.5 cm in the same capillary. If the angles of contact for water-glass and mercury-glass are taken as 0^(@) and 135^(@) respectively, compare the surface tensions of water and mercury. [Given density of water = 10^(3) kg m^(-3) , density of mercury = 13.6 xx 10^(3) kg m^(-3) ]
