A container has two immiscible liquids of densities and . A capillary tube of radius 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 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
