Assertion: A surface tension experiment with a capillary tube is done on an artificial satellite then the rise of liquid in the capillary is upto full length of the tube.
Reason: The value of

g_{\text {effective}}

is zero on an artificial satellite.

View answer and explanation

Correct option: A

If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of the assertion

Option A is correct because the effective gravity is zero in an artificial satellite, leading to the liquid rising to the full length of the capillary tube, and the reason correctly explains this.

The tube is depressed more so that the top of capillary tube is only one cm above the liquid. Then the apparent angle of contact between the solid and liquid is An object weights
