Question

. Water rises in a vertical capillary tube up to a length
of 10 cm. If the tube is inclined at 45, the length of
water risen in the tube will be

Answer 1

Explanation:

When capillary tube is tilted through an angle then length of water risen in capillary, Here

$10 \sqrt{2}$

Answer 2

The vertical rise in the level of liquid is constant.

Hence for an inclined tube, the effective length is h/

ccos

So, the length of water risen in the tube will be 10√2cm
