Question:medium
A glass capillary tube of internal radius r = 0.25mm is immersed in water. The top end of the tube is projected by 2cm above the surface of the water. At what angle does the liquid meet the tube? Surface tension of water = 0.7N/m.

Consider a water tank shown in the figure. It has one wall at \(x = L\) and can be taken to be very wide in the z direction. When filled with a liquid of surface tension \(S\) and density \( \rho \), the liquid surface makes angle \( \theta_0 \) (\( \theta_0 < < 1 \)) with the x-axis at \(x = L\). If \(y(x)\) is the height of the surface then the equation for \(y(x)\) is: (take \(g\) as the acceleration due to gravity)
