Water rises in a capillary, tube to a certain height such that the upward force due to surface tension is balanced by, 75×10-4 N force due to the weight of the liquid. If the surface tension of water is 6×10-2Nm-1, the inner circumference of the capillary must be:

A glass capillary tube is of the shape of a truncated cone with an apex angle αso that its two ends have cross-sections of different radii. When dipped in water vertically, water rises in it to a height h, where the radius of its cross-section is b. If the surface tension of water is T, its density is ρ, and its contact angle with glass is 0, the value of h will be : (g is the acceleration due to gravity)
