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 , then rise of liquid between the plates due to capillary will be[NCERT 1981]
Options:
A)
B)
C)
D)
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 =
Weight of the liquid rises in between the plates =
Equating (i) and (ii) we get ,
