Three liquids of densities ρ1, ρ2 and  ρ3 (with ρ1>ρ2>ρ3), having the same value of surface tension T, rise to the same height in three identical capillaries. The angles of contact θ1,θ2 and θ3 obey:

1.  \(\frac{\pi}{2}>\theta_1>\theta_2>\theta_3 \geq 0\)    
2. \(0 \leq \theta_1<\theta_2<\theta_3<\frac{\pi}{2}\)
3. \(\frac{\pi}{2}<\theta_1<\theta_2<\theta_3<\pi\)
4. \(\pi>\theta_1>\theta_2>\theta_3>\frac{\pi}{2}\)

Water rises to a height h in capillary tube . If the length of capillary tube above the surface of water is made less than h, then

1. water rises upto the tip of capillary tube and then starts overflowing like a fountain
 

2. water rises upto the top of capillary tube and stays there without overflowing
 

3. water rises upto a point a little below the top and stays there
 

4. water does not rise at all

The rate of steady volume flow of water through a capillary tube of length 'l' and radius 'r' under a pressure difference of P is V. This tube is connected with another tube of the same length but half the radius in series. Then the rate of steady volume flow through them is (The pressure difference across the combination is P)

1. V16                                     

2. V17

3. 16V17
