Question

Explain whether the liquid risen in the capillary tube of insufficient length will over flow or not .....
Can anyone solve this problem Plzz... pls who don't know the answer they don't gave the answer ...​

Answer 1

Answer:

When the tube is of insufficient length, a radius of curvature of the liquid meniscus increases, so as to maintain the product hR a finite constant. i.e. as h decreases, R increases and the liquid meniscus becomes more and more flat, but the liquid does not overflow.
