Question

In a gravity free space , liquid in capillary tube will rise to ......A)the same height as on earth.b)less height as on earth.c)slightly more height than that on earth.d)top and overflow.

Answer 1

If there’s is no weight (no gravitational force) then the only force acting on the liquid is surface tension.

Explanation:

In this case surface tension will pull the liquid upwards to fill it. Normally this process stops when the upwards force of surface tension balances weight ... in the absence of weight it will continue.
