Water rises to a height of 20 mm in a capillary if the radius of the capillary is made one third of its previous value then what is the new value of the capillary rise?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Since `h=(2Tcostheta)/(rdg)` and the same liquid and capillaries of difference radii `h_(1)r_(1)=h_(2)r_(2)`
`therefore(h_(2))/(h_(1))=(r_(1))/(r_(2))=(1)/((1//3))=3` hence `h_(2)=3h_(1)=3xx20mm=60mm`
