NEET PHYSICS TEST ARRANGEMENT:
QUESTION:
A capillary tube of radius 'r' is immersed in water and the water rises it
to a height h.The mass of the water in the capillary tube is 5 g. Another
capillary tube of radius '2r' is immersed in water.The mass of the water that will rise in the tube is;
[A]. 2.5 g
[B]. 5.0 g
[C]. 10.0 g
[D]. 20.0 g
ANSWER:
ANSWER - [C]
SOLUTION:
CAPILLARY RISE:
A capillary tube (glass tube) of radius 'r 'is dipped in water, the surface pulls the capillary walls in downward direction. Capillary walls pull the surface in upward direction. By the way the water in the tube will rise above the adjacent liquid level till the forces get balanced. This rises what we called it as capillary rise
WHAT ARE THE TWO FORCES ACTING AT EQUILIBRIUM?
1.
First one is the weight of the water
column, acting downwards.
Weight of the water in the column = mass x
gravity
= volume x density x gravity
2.
Second force is the upward force acting on water due to surface tension
Let T be the surface tension of the liquid.
Since the capillary pulls the surface in upward direction, the vertical component of the surface tension is taken into account. During equilibrium the two forces should be balanced.
