Water column does not repture during ascent in tracheary elemants due to

A long capillary tube of radius r = 1 mm open at both ends is filled with water and placed vertically. What will be the height (in cm ) of the column of water left in the capillary walls is negligible. (surface tension of water is 72 "dyne"//"cm" and g = 1000 "cm"//"sec"^(2) )

A column of water within xylem vesels of tall trees does not break under its weight because of:

A glass capillary tube is of the shape of a truncated cone with an apex angle alpha so that its two ends have cross sections of different radii. When dipped in water vertically, water rises in it to a high h, where the radius of its cross section is b. If the surface tension of water is S, its density if rho , and its contact angle with glass is theta , the value of h will be (g is the acceleration due to gravity)

The temperature of an air bubble while rising from bottom to surface of a lake remains constant but its diameter is doubled if the pressure on the surface is equal to h meter of mercury column and relative density of mercury is then the depth of lake in metre is -

An air bubble doubles in radius on rising from bottom of a lake to its surface. If the atmosphere pressure is equal to that due ot a column of 10 m of water, then what will be the depth of the lake. (Assuming that surface tension is negligible)?
