A capillary tube immersed in water is taken to moon, where the value of acceleration of gravity is g/6. What happens to the rise of the liquid (h) on the moon?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Height becomes 6h, provided the capillary tube is that long. If it is not that long, it rises to the height of the capillary tube.
