A child dipped two identical capillary tubes,one in a beaker containing mercury.He observed that water and mercury have risen through the tubes to a certain heights.
What difference did he observe in the shape of the meniscus of the two liquids in the tube?

A child dipped two identical capillary tubes,one in a beaker containing mercury.He observed that water and mercury have risen through the tubes to a certain heights. Name this phenomenon.

A child dipped two identical capillary tubes,one in a beaker containing mercury.He observed that water and mercury have risen through the tubes to a certain heights. If he plots a graph connecting the radius of the capillary tube and capillay height,what will be the shape of the graph?

A capillary tube when dipped into water, it is commonly observed that water will rise through the tube. If the radius of the tube becomes double, what happens to the height of the water column in the tube?

Two thin evacuated (one end closed) glass take A and B are carefully immersed in a beaker containing Mercury such a way that there is no chance to get air into the tubes. A is stand vertically and B is making an angle theta with the vertical.Is any rise of mercury in the tubes?

Two thin evacuated (one end closed) glass take A and B are carefully immersed in a beaker containing Mercury such a way that there is no chance to get air into the tubes. A is stand vertically and B is making an angle theta with the vertical.Is any height difference of Mercury levels in tube A and B? Justify your answer.

A capillary tube when dipped into water, it is commonly observed that water will rise through the tube. Which of the following is responsible for this? (i)Gravitational force (ii)Viscous force (iii)Nuclear force (iv)Surface tension (v)Elastic force

A U -tube contains water and methylated spirit separated by mercury.The mercury columns in the two arms are in level with 10.0cm of water in one arm and 12.5m of spirit in other. What is the specific gravity of spirit?
