Two capillary tubes of diffemt diameters...

Two capillary tubes of diffemt diameters are dipped in water. The rise of water is :

A

the same in both tubes

B

greater in the tube oflarger diameter

C

greater in the tube of smaller diameter

D

independent of the diameter of the tube.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
According to ascent formula
`h=(2Tcostheta)/(rpg)`
`thereforehprop1/r`
So rise of water will be greater in a tube of smaller diameter.
So correct choice is (c).

The lower end of a capillary tube of diameter 2.00mm is dipped 8.00cm below the surface of water in a beaker. What is the pressure required in the tube in order to blow a hemispherical bubble at its end in water? The surface tension of water at temperature of the experiments is 7.30 times 10^2 Nm^-1 .1 atmospheric pressure =1.01 times 10^5 Pa density of water =1000 kg//m^3,g=9.80 ms^-2 . Also calculate the excess pressure.

What is a capillary tube?

When we press the bulb of a dropper with its nozzle kept in water , air in the dropper seems to escape in the form of bubbles. Once we release the pressure on the bulb , water gets filled in the dropper. The rise of water in the dropper is due to
