It is said that a liquid rises or is depressed in a capillary due to the surface tension. If a liquid neither rises nor depresses in a capillary, can we conclude that the surface tension of the liquid is zero ?

If a liquid does not rise or fall in a capillary tube , then its angle of contact is

Assertion If angle of contact is 0^(@) , then liquid will neither rise nor fall in a capillary. Reason : When angle of contact is 0^(@) , surface is neither convex nor concave inside the capillary. It is flat.

When liquid does not rises in a capillary tube , the angle of contact is
