Question

On putting a capillary tube in a pot filled with water, the level
of water rose rise uptoa height of 4 cm in the tube If a tube of
half the diameter is used instead the water will rise to a height
of nearly ?

Neha Gupta · Accepted Answer

Height of the water in the capillary is inversely proportional to the radius of the tube
Keeping other parameters constant
Since diameter is half, radius is also half  then height of the water becomes double in capillary
