Q. Water rises to a height of $16.3\, cm$ in a capillary of height $18\, cm$ above the water level. If the tube is cut at a height of $12\, cm$ in the capillary tube,

Mechanical Properties of Fluids

Solution:

There will be no over flowing of liquid in a tube of insufficient height but there will be adjustment of the radius of curvature of meniscus so that $h R=a$ finite constant.
