Given the diameter of the capillary tube (d), surface tension force per unit length (σ), and weight density (w), the capillary rise of water in the glass tube (h) will be given by which of the following expressions? (Consider the angle of contact between water and the glass tube is zero)
- 1h = 6σ/wd
- 2h = 4σ/wd✓
- 3h = 3σ/wd
- 4h = 2σ/wd
Correct answer
h = 4σ/wd
