Important Questions on Surface Tension
Water rises to a height of in a capillary tube and mercury falls to a depth of in the same capillary tube. If the density of mercury is and the angle of contact is then the ratio of surface tension for water and mercury is

The height of liquid column in the capillary on the surface of Moon, if it is h on surface of the Earth is

In a surface tension experiment with a capillary tube, water rises upto . If the same experiment is repeated in an artificial satellite which is revolving around the earth, water will rise in the capillary tube upto a height equal to

A capillary the tube is kept vertical with the lower end dipped in water. The height of water raised in the capillary is If the length of the capillary tube is made , then the angle made by the water surface in the capillary with the wall is

A liquid of density has an unknown surface tension. However, it is observed that it rises three times high in a capillary tube as compared to pure water. If the contact angles for both are same, then the surface tension of liquid is (Surface tension of water is

The U-tube with limbs of diameters and Contain water of surface tension The angle of contact is zero and density . If is , then the difference in levels in the two limbs is

The surface tension of water is . The height to which water will rise in a capillary tube of bore diameter will be (Angle of contact of water is zero, acceleration due to gravity is and density of water is ).

Two capillaries and are dipped in water and held vertical. The diameter of is twice that of . The ratio of the heights to which water rises in and is
