Properties Of Solids And Liquids Question 162

Question: Two parallel glass plates are dipped partly in the liquid of density ’d’ keeping them vertical. If the distance between the plates is ‘x’, surface tension for liquids is T and angle of contact is θ , then rise of liquid between the plates due to capillary will be[NCERT 1981]

Options:

A) Tcosθxd

B) 2Tcosθxdg

C) 2Txdgcosθ

D)Tcosθxdg

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

Let the width of each plate is b and due to surface tension liquid will rise upto height h then upward force due to surface tension = 2Tbcosθ -(i)

Weight of the liquid rises in between the plates = Vdg=(bxh)dg -(ii)

Equating (i) and (ii) we get ,2Tcosθ=bxhdg

h=2Tcosθxdg
