Water has been filled in a vertical capillary tube upto the top after closing its lower end by a finger Consider radius of capillary r = 1 mm, surface tension is 70 dyne/cm and g = 980 cm/sec . Which of the option is correct when finger is removed?
View answer and explanation
Correct option: D
Nearly 2.86 cm of water will stay inside the capillary tube and rest will fall down.
Option D (Nearly 2.86 cm of water will stay inside the capillary tube and rest will fall down) is correct because the height to which water rises in a capillary tube is given by h=2Tcos⁡θrρgh = \frac{{2T\cos\theta}}{{r\rho g}}, and this height remains even after removing the finger.
