Question

Two capillaries made of same material but of different radii are dipped in a liquid. The rise of liquid in one capillary is 4 cm and that in second tube is 5 cm. The ratio of their radii is (A) 1 / 2 (B) 2 / 3 (C) 1 / 4 (D) 5 / 4

h propto (1/ r ) ∴ ( r 1/ r 2)=( h 2/ h 1) =(5/4)

Q. Two capillaries made of same material but of different radii are dipped in a liquid. The rise of liquid in one capillary is $4 c m$ and that in second tube is $5 c m$ . The ratio of their radii is

$1/2$

$2/3$

$1/4$

$5/4$

$h \propto \frac{1}{r}$
$∴ \frac{r _{1}}{r _{2}} = \frac{h _{2}}{h _{1}}$
$= \frac{5}{4}$
