The correct Answer is:
To calculate the rise of water inside a clean glass 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 (rise of water) - \( T \) = surface tension of the liquid (water in this case) - \( \theta \) = angle of contact (given as 0 degrees) - \( r \) = radius of the capillary tube - \( \rho \) = density of the liquid (water) - \( g \) = acceleration due to gravity ### Step 1: Convert the radius from mm to meters The radius of the capillary tube is given as 0.1 mm. To convert this to meters: \[ r = 0.1 \, \text{mm} = 0.1 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{m} = 1 \times 10^{-4} \, \text{m} \] ### Step 2: Identify the values - Surface tension \( T = 7 \times 10^{-2} \, \text{N/m} \) - Angle of contact \( \theta = 0^\circ \) (thus \( \cos \theta = 1 \)) - Density of water \( \rho = 1000 \, \text{kg/m}^3 \) - Acceleration due to gravity \( g = 9.8 \, \text{m/s}^2 \) ### Step 3: Substitute the values into the formula Now we can substitute the values into the capillary rise formula: \[ h = \frac{2 \times T \times \cos \theta}{r \times \rho \times g} \] Substituting the known values: \[ h = \frac{2 \times (7 \times 10^{-2}) \times 1}{(1 \times 10^{-4}) \times (1000) \times (9.8)} \] ### Step 4: Calculate the numerator Calculate the numerator: \[ 2 \times (7 \times 10^{-2}) \times 1 = 0.14 \, \text{N/m} \] ### Step 5: Calculate the denominator Calculate the denominator: \[ (1 \times 10^{-4}) \times (1000) \times (9.8) = 0.098 \, \text{N} \] ### Step 6: Calculate the height \( h \) Now, substitute the numerator and denominator back into the equation: \[ h = \frac{0.14}{0.098} \approx 1.42857 \, \text{m} \] ### Step 7: Round to appropriate significant figures Rounding to four significant figures, we get: \[ h \approx 0.1429 \, \text{m} \] ### Final Answer The rise of water inside the capillary tube is approximately **0.1429 m** or **14.29 cm**. ---
