A coaxial cylinder made of glass is immersed in liquid of surface tension ‘S’. Radius of inner and outer surface of cylinder are R1 and R2 respectively. Height till which liquid will rise is (Density of liquid is r)-
A
R2ρg2S
B
R1ρg2S
C
(R2−R1)ρgS
D
(R2−R1)ρg2S
Answer
(R2−R1)ρg2S
Explanation
Solution
Net upward force
= 2p R2S + 2pR1 S contact angle = 00
\ Capillary rise is given by
h = π(R22−R12)ρg2πS(R1+R2)
= (R2−R1)ρg2S
