If 'M' is the mass of water that rises in a capillary tube of radius 'r', then mass of water which will rise in a capillary tube of radius '2r' is :
- AM
- B4M
- CM/2
- D2M
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: D
- Capillary rise formula
For a liquid rising in a capillary tube of radius , the height of rise is
where:
- = surface tension
- = angle of contact
- = density of liquid
- = acceleration due to gravity
So,
- Mass of liquid risen in the tube
The mass of water in the tube is
Substitute :
Thus, the mass of water risen is directly proportional to the radius of the tube:
- Compare tubes of radius and
If for radius , the risen mass is , then for radius ,
Hence,
- Option check
- A: ❌
- B: ❌
- C: ❌
- D: ✅
Therefore, the correct answer is:
