To solve the question regarding the behavior of water in a capillary tube under weightlessness, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand Capillary Action Capillary action is the ability of a liquid to flow in narrow spaces without the assistance of external forces. It occurs due to the combination of cohesive forces (between liquid molecules) and adhesive forces (between liquid molecules and the surface of the tube). ### Step 2: Identify the Role of Gravity In normal conditions, the rise of water in a capillary tube is influenced by gravity (g). The height (h) to which the liquid rises can be calculated using the formula: \[ ...
