A capillary tube made of glass of radius \(0.15 ~\text{mm}\) is dipped vertically in a beaker filled with methylene iodide (surface tension  \(=0.05 ~\text{Nm}^{-1},\) density \(=667~\text{kg m}^{-3}\)) which rises to height \(h\) in the tube. It is observed that the two tangents drawn from liquid-glass interfaces (from opp. sides of the capillary) make an angle of \(60^\circ\) with one another. Then \(h\) is close to:
(take \(g = 10~\text{m/s}^2\))
1. \(0.137~\text{m}\)
2. \(0.172~ \text{m}\)
3. \(0.087 ~\text{m}\)
4. \(0.049 ~\text{m}\)

When a long glass capillary tube of radius \(0.015~\text{cm}\) is dipped in a liquid, the liquid rises to a height of \(15~\text{cm}\) within it. If the contact angle between the liquid and glass to close to \(0^\circ\), the surface tension of the liquid, in milliNewton m–1, is nearly:\(\left[\rho_{\text {(liquid) }}=900 \mathrm{~kgm}^{-3}, \mathrm{~g}=10 \mathrm{~ms}^{-2}\right] \)

Two narrow bores of diameter \(5.0 ~\text{mm}\) and \(8.0 ~\text{mm}\) are joined together to form a U-shaped tube open at both ends. If this U-tube contains water, what is the difference in the level of the two limbs of the tube?
(Take surface tension of water \(T = 7.3 × 10^{–2}~ \text {N m}^{–1} ,\) angle of contact \(= 0, g = 10 ~\text{m s}^{–2}\) and density of water \(= 1.0 × 10^3 ~\text{kg m}^{–3}\))

Surface tension of two liquids (having same densities), \(T_1\) and \(T_2\), are measured using capillary rise method utilizing two tubes with inner radii of \(r_1\) and \(r_2\) where \(r_1>r_2\). The measured liquid heights in these tubes are \(h_1\) and \(h_2\) respectively. [Ignore the weight of the liquid about the lowest point of miniscus]. The heights \(h_1\) and \(h_2\) and surface tensions \(T_1\) and \(T_2\) satisfy the relation:
1. \({h}_1<{h}_2\) and \({T}_1={T}_2\)
2. \({h}_1={h}_2\) and \({T}_1={T}_2\)
3. \({h}_1>{h}_2\) and \({T}_1={T}_2\)
4. \({h}_1>{h}_2\) and \({T}_1<{T}_2\)
