उत्तर
\[\text{ Height of water column in capillary tube is given by: } \]
\[h = \frac{2Tcos\theta}{r\rho g}\]
\[\text{ A free falling elevator experiences zero gravity }. \]
\[ \Rightarrow h = \frac{2Tcos\theta}{r\rho0} = \infty \]
\[\text{ But, h = 20 cm (given)}\]
\[\text{ Therefore, the height of the water column will remain at a maximum of 20 cm} .\]
