A capillary tube of radius r is immersed in water and water rises in it to a height h. The mass of the water in the capillary is 5 g. Another capillary tube of radius 2r is immersed in water. The mass of water that will rise in this tube is :

Question

Dr. Abubacker · Accepted Answer

[Solution] $h \propto 1/r$, so mass $\propto r^2h \propto r$; doubling r doubles the mass to 10 g. Answer (2).
