A capillary tube made of glass of radius \(0.15 ~\text{mm}\) is dipped vertically in a beaker filled with methylene iodide (surface tension  \(=0.05 ~\text{Nm}^{-1},\) density \(=667~\text{kg m}^{-3}\)) which rises to height \(h\) in the tube. It is observed that the two tangents drawn from liquid-glass interfaces (from opp. sides of the capillary) make an angle of \(60^\circ\) with one another. Then \(h\) is close to:
(take \(g = 10~\text{m/s}^2\))

2. \(0.172~ \text{m}\)

When a long glass capillary tube of radius \(0.015~\text{cm}\) is dipped in a liquid, the liquid rises to a height of \(15~\text{cm}\) within it.

Surface tension of two liquids (having same densities), \(T_1\) and \(T_2\), are measured using capillary rise method utilizing two tubes with inner radii of \(r_1\) and \(r_2\) where \(r_1>r_2\). The measured liquid heights in these tubes are \(h_1\) and \(h_2\) respectively. [Ignore the weight of the liquid about the lowest point of miniscus]. The heights \(h_1\) and \(h_2\) and surface tensions \(T_1\) and \(T_2\) satisfy the relation:
1. \({h}_1<{h}_2\) and \({T}_1={T}_2\)
2. \({h}_1={h}_2\) and \({T}_1={T}_2\)
3. \({h}_1>{h}_2\) and \({T}_1={T}_2\)
4. \({h}_1>{h}_2\) and \({T}_1<{T}_2\)

1. \(K\) is negative, then liquid \(A\) and liquid \(B\) have convex meniscus.
2. \(K\) is zero, then liquid \(A\) has convex meniscus and liquid \(B\) has concave meniscus.
3. \(K\) is negative, then liquid \(A\) has concave meniscus and liquid \(B\) has convex meniscus.
4. \(K\) is negative, then liquid \(A\) and liquid \(B\) have concave meniscus.
