AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem of finding the angle at which the liquid meets the capillary tube, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the forces acting on the liquid in the capillary tube The liquid in the capillary tube experiences two main forces: 1. The upward force due to surface tension. 2. The downward force due to the weight of the liquid column. ### Step 2: Write the expression for the force due to surface tension ...
