The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of the rise of liquid between two parallel glass plates due to capillary action, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Setup**: - We have two parallel glass plates that are partially immersed in a liquid of density \( d \). - The distance between the plates is \( x \). - The surface tension of the liquid is \( T \) and the angle of contact is \( \theta \). 2. **Visualizing the Capillary Action**: - When the plates are close enough, the liquid will rise between them due to capillary action. - Let’s denote the height of the liquid rise as \( h \). 3. **Forces Acting on the Liquid Column**: - The surface tension acts along the edges of the plates and creates an upward force. - The weight of the liquid column acts downward. 4. **Calculating the Upward Force Due to Surface Tension**: - The upward force due to surface tension can be expressed as: \[ F_{\text{up}} = 2T \cos(\theta) \cdot L \] - Here, \( L \) is the length of the plates in contact with the liquid. 5. **Calculating the Downward Force Due to Weight**: - The weight of the liquid column can be expressed as: \[ F_{\text{down}} = \text{mass} \cdot g = (\text{density} \cdot \text{volume}) \cdot g \] - The volume of the liquid column is \( L \cdot x \cdot h \), so: \[ F_{\text{down}} = d \cdot (L \cdot x \cdot h) \cdot g \] 6. **Setting Up the Equation**: - For the liquid to be in equilibrium, the upward force must equal the downward force: \[ 2T \cos(\theta) \cdot L = d \cdot (L \cdot x \cdot h) \cdot g \] 7. **Simplifying the Equation**: - We can cancel \( L \) from both sides (assuming \( L \neq 0 \)): \[ 2T \cos(\theta) = d \cdot x \cdot h \cdot g \] 8. **Solving for the Height \( h \)**: - Rearranging the equation to solve for \( h \): \[ h = \frac{2T \cos(\theta)}{d \cdot x \cdot g} \] ### Final Result: The rise of the liquid between the plates due to capillary action is given by: \[ h = \frac{2T \cos(\theta)}{d \cdot x \cdot g} \]
