A glass capillary tube is of the shape of a truncated cone with an apex angle α so that its two ends have cross-sections of different radii. When dipped in water vertically, the water rises in it to a height h, where the radius of its cross-section is b. If the surface tension of water is S, its density is ρ, and its contact angle with glass is θ, then the value of h will be (g is the acceleration due to gravity)

An open-ended U-tube of uniform cross-sectional area contains water (density 103 kg m-3 ). Initially the water level stands at 0.29 m from the bottom in each arm. Kerosene oil (a water-immiscible liquid) of density 800 kg m-3 is added to the left arm until its length is 0.1 m, as shown in the schematic figure below. The ratio h1h2 of the heights of the liquid in the two arms is

When water is filled carefully in a glass, one can fill it to a height h above the rim of the glass due to the surface tension of water. To calculate h just before water starts flowing, model the shape of the water above the rim as a disc of thickness h having semicircular edges, as shown schematically in the figure. When the pressure of water at the bottom of this disc exceeds what can be withstood due to the surface tension, the water surface breaks near the rim and water starts flowing from there. If the density of water, its surface tension and the acceleration due to gravity are 103 kg m-3,0.07 N m-1 and 10 m s-2 respectively, the value of h (in mm) is ________.

A steel wire of diameter 0.5 mm and Young's modulus 2×1011 N m-2 carries a load of mass M. The length of the wire with the load is 1.0 m. A vernier scale with 10 divisions is attached to the end of this wire. Next to the steel wire is a reference wire to which a main scale, of least count 1.0 mm, is attached. The 10 divisions of the vernier scale correspond to 9 divisions of the main scale. Initially, the zero of vernier scale coincides with the zero of main scale. If the load on the steel wire is increased by 1.2 kg, the vernier scale division which coincides with a main scale division is __________. Take g=10 m s-2 and π= 3.2.
