A capillary tube whose inside radius is ...

A capillary tube whose inside radius is `0.5mm` is dipped in water having surface tension `7.0xx10^(-2) N//m`. To what height is the water raised above the normal water level? Angle of contact of water with glass is `0^(@)`. Density of water is `10^(3)kg//m^(3) and g=9.8 m//s^(2)`.

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of how high water is raised in a capillary tube, we can use the formula for capillary rise: \[ h = \frac{2T \cos \theta}{R \rho g} \] Where: - \( h \) = height of the liquid column - \( T \) = surface tension of the liquid - \( \theta \) = angle of contact - \( R \) = radius of the capillary tube - \( \rho \) = density of the liquid - \( g \) = acceleration due to gravity ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the given values:** - Surface tension, \( T = 7.0 \times 10^{-2} \, \text{N/m} \) - Radius of the capillary tube, \( R = 0.5 \, \text{mm} = 0.5 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{m} \) - Angle of contact, \( \theta = 0^\circ \) - Density of water, \( \rho = 10^3 \, \text{kg/m}^3 \) - Acceleration due to gravity, \( g = 9.8 \, \text{m/s}^2 \) 2. **Convert the angle of contact to cosine:** - Since \( \theta = 0^\circ \), we have: \[ \cos \theta = \cos(0^\circ) = 1 \] 3. **Substitute the values into the formula:** \[ h = \frac{2 \times (7.0 \times 10^{-2}) \times 1}{(0.5 \times 10^{-3}) \times (10^3) \times (9.8)} \] 4. **Calculate the denominator:** - First, calculate \( R \rho g \): \[ R \rho g = (0.5 \times 10^{-3}) \times (10^3) \times (9.8) = 0.5 \times 9.8 = 4.9 \] 5. **Calculate the numerator:** \[ 2T \cos \theta = 2 \times (7.0 \times 10^{-2}) \times 1 = 0.14 \] 6. **Now, substitute back into the equation for \( h \):** \[ h = \frac{0.14}{4.9} \] 7. **Calculate \( h \):** \[ h \approx 0.02857 \, \text{m} \] 8. **Convert \( h \) to centimeters:** \[ h \approx 0.02857 \, \text{m} \times 100 = 2.857 \, \text{cm} \approx 2.86 \, \text{cm} \] ### Final Answer: The height to which water is raised in the capillary tube is approximately \( 2.86 \, \text{cm} \).
