Water rises in a capillary tube to a certain height such that the upward force due to surface tension is balanced by 75xx10^-4 newton force due to the weight of the liquid. If the surface tension of water is 6xx 10^-2 newton/metre the inner circumference of the capillary must be:

Which of the following does not affect surface tension of liquid?

Which of the following has highest surface tension ?

Which of the following statements is not true about surface tension ?

Surface tension of a liquid is a molecular phenomenon of liquids involving the force of cohesion along the liquid molecules. It is scalar quantity and is numberically equal to the surface energy. Numerically, it is proved that the potential soluble salts and surface active substance. Sparingly soluble salts and surface active substances decrease the surface tension of the liquid. However, the fairly soluble solutes increase the surface tension of the liquid. Surface tension of a liquid is independent of surface area but it depends on the intermolecular forces and the temperature. Which among the following is not the unit of surface tension ?
