उत्तर
Given:
Radius of capillary tube r = 1 mm = 10−3 m
(a) Let T be the surface tension and ρ be the density of the liquid.
Then, for cos θ = 1, height (h) of liquid level:\[h = \frac{2T}{r\rho g}\] ........... (i),
where g is the acceleration due to gravity
\[\Rightarrow \text{ h } = \frac{2 \times \left( 0 . 076 \right)}{{10}^{- 3} \times 10 \times 100}\]
\[ = 1 . 52 \text{ cm} \]
\[ = 1 . 52 \times {10}^{- 2} \text{ m }\]
\[ = 1 . 52 \text{ cm }\]
(b) Let the new length of the tube be h'.
\[\text{ h }' = \frac{2T\cos \theta}{\text{ r }\rho \text{ g }}\]
\[\cos \theta = \frac{\text{ h'r }\rho g}{2T}\]
\[\text{ Using equation }\left( \text{ i } \right), \text{ we get: }\]
\[\cos \theta = \frac{h'}{h} = \frac{1}{2} \left( \text{ Because h' }= \frac{h}{2} \right)\]
\[ \Rightarrow \theta = \cos^{- 1} \left( \frac{1}{2} \right) = 60^\circ\]
The water surface in the capillary makes an angle of 60∘with the wall.
