प्रश्न
The contact angle between pure water and pure silver is 90°. If a capillary tube made of silver is dipped at one end in pure water, will the water rise in the capillary?

उत्तर
No, the water will neither rise nor fall in the silver capillary.
\[\text{ According to Jurin's law, the level of water inside a capillary tube is given by }\]
\[h = \frac{2Tcos\theta}{r\rho g}\]
\[\text{ Here }, \theta = {90}^0 \]
\[ \Rightarrow h = \frac{2Tcos {90}^0}{r\rho g} \]
\[ \Rightarrow h = 0\]
Thus, the water level neither rises nor falls.

Explain why Water on a clean glass surface tends to spread out while mercury on the same surface tends to form drops. (Put differently, water wets glass while mercury does not.)
Mercury has an angle of contact equal to 140° with soda lime glass. A narrow tube of radius 1.00 mm made of this glass is dipped in a trough containing mercury. By what amount does the mercury dip down in the tube relative to the liquid surface outside? Surface tension of mercury at the temperature of the experiment is 0.465 N m–1. Density of mercury = 13.6 × 103 kg m–3
