Explanation:
A Since, we know that, capillary rise of depression is given as-
If is less than , then will be positive liquid rises in a capillary tube, The angle of contact is acute.
Whereas liquid is depressed in a capillary tube, i.e. is more than then the angle of contact is obtuse. 274. A vertical glass capillary tube of radius open at both ends contains some water (surface tension and density ). If be the length of the water column, then :

(a)
(b)
(c)
(d)
Ans: a :

Let, the radius of capillary tube is .

Net surface tension force in upward direction will be,
Due to the shape of meniscus at the upper and lower surfaces of the liquid, the vertical components of surface tension force will be added along vertical direction
So, net upward force-
Now, weight of liquid can be balanced by surface tension force.
