Fluid Mechanics Viscosity Question 47

Question: Two capillaries made of the same material with radii $ r_{1}=1mm $ and $ r_{2}=2mm $ . The rise of the liquid in one capillary ($ r_{1}=mm $ ) is 30 cm, then the rise in the other will be [MP PET 1991]

Options:

A) 7.5 cm

B) 60 cm

C) 15 cm

D) 120 cm

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

$ \frac{h_{2}}{h_{1}}=\frac{r_{1}}{r_{2}}=\frac{1}{2}\Rightarrow h_{2}=\frac{30}{2}=15cm $
