Water rises to a height h in a capillary...

Water rises to a height `h` in a capillary at the surface of earth. On the surface of the moon the height of water column in the same capillary will be-

A

`6h`

B

`(1)/(6)h`

C

`h`

D

Zero

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
`h=(2T cos theta)/(rdg) " "therefore h prop (1)/(g) " "["If other quantities remains constant"]`
`(h_("moon"))/(h_("earth")) = (g_("earth"))/(g_("moon")) = 6 implies h_("moon") = 6h " "["As " g_("earth")=6g_("moon")]`
