A container has two immiscible liquids of densities ρ1 and ρ2>ρ1. A capillary tube of radius r is inserted in the liquid so that its bottom reaches up to the denser liquid. The denser liquid rises in the capillary and attains a height h from the interface of the liquids, which is equal to the column length of the lighter liquid. Assuming angle of contact to be zero, the surface tension of the heavier liquid is

A spherical object of mass 1 kg and radius 1 m is falling vertically downward inside a viscous liquid in a gravity-free space. At a certain instant, the velocity of the sphere is 2 m s-1. If the coefficient of viscosity of the liquid is 16π SI units, then the velocity of the ball will become 0.5 m s-1 after a time.
