उत्तर
- When a glass capillary tube is dipped into a liquid, then the liquid rises in the capillary against gravity.
Hence, the weight of the liquid column must be equal and opposite to the component of force due to surface tension at the point of contact. - The length of liquid in contact inside the capillary is the circumference 2πr.
Let, r = radius of the capillary tube
h = height of liquid level in the tube
T = surface tension of the liquid
ρ = density of liquid
g = acceleration due to gravity
Rise of liquid in capillary tube - The force of magnitude fT acts tangentially on a unit length of liquid surface which is in contact with the wall of the capillary tube and is given as fT = T × 2πr
This force can be resolved into two components:
a. fT cosθ - vertically upward and
b. fT sinθ - along horizontal - The vertical component is effective. The horizontal component is not responsible for the capillary rise.
- The vertical component of force acting on the liquid column
(fT)v = force per unit length × circumference
= T cosθ × 2πr - Upward force balances the weight of the liquid in the capillary.
W = mg = Vρg = πr2hρg
where V = volume of liquid rise in the tube (ignoring the liquid in the concave meniscus.)
m = mass of the liquid in the capillary rise. This must be equal and opposite to the vertical component of the force due to surface tension. - If the liquid in the meniscus is neglected, then for equilibrium.,
2πr T cos θ = πr2 h ρg
∴ `h = (2T cos theta)/(r rho g )` ...(1) - This is the required expression for the rising or fall of liquid in a capillary tube.
