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