Question: Water rises in a vertical capillary tube upto a height of 2.0 cm . If the tube is inclined at an angle of $ 60^{o} $ with the vertical, then upto what length the water will rise in the tube[UPSEAT 2002]

Options:

A) 2.0 cm

B)4.0 cm

C) $ \frac{4}{\sqrt{3}}cm $

D)$ 2\sqrt{2,}cm $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

$ l=\frac{h}{\cos \theta }=\frac{2}{\cos 60^{o}}=4.0\ cm $
