Question:medium
If a capillary tube of radius $r$ is immersed in a liquid, the liquid rises to a height $h$. The corresponding mass of liquid column is $m$. The mass of water that would rise in another capillary tube of twice the radius is
If a capillary tube of radius $r$ is immersed in a liquid, the liquid rises to a height $h$. The corresponding mass of liquid column is $m$. The mass of water that would rise in another capillary tube of twice the radius is
Show Hint
In capillary rise problems, mass varies directly with radius.
