A capillary tube is taken from the Earth...

A capillary tube is taken from the Earth to the surface of the moon. The rise of the liquid column on the Moon (acceleration due to gravity on the Earth is 6 times that of the Moon) is

A

Both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A.

B

Both A and R are correct but R is not the correct explanation of A.

C

A is correct and R is incorrect.

D

Both A and R are incorrect.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
The value of g on the moon is 1/6th of that on the earth. Small value of g on the moon is due to its small mass compared to the earth.s mass.
` g_m = (1)/(6) g_e " " g_m =(1)/(6) xx 36 = 6 kgwt.`
