The factor responsible for lower mercury level in a capillary tube is

The lower end of a capillary tube is immersed in mercury. The level of mercury in the tube is found to be 2 cm below the outer level. If the same tube is immersed in water, up to what height will the water rise in the capillary ?

Mercury in a capillary tube is depressed by 1.16cm. The diameter of the capillary tube is 1mm. Calculate the angle of contact of mercury with the glass if the surface tension of mercury is 54 xx 10Nm^(-1) and its density is 13.6 xx 10^(3) kg m^(-3) .

The lower end of a capillary tube of radius 1 mm is dipped vertically into mercury. (a) Find the depression of mercury column in the capillary. (b) If the length dipped inside is half the answer of part (a), find the angle made by the mercury surface at the end of the capillary with the vertical. Surface tension of mercury =0.465Nm^-1 and the contact angle of mercury with glass =135^@ .
