Water rises in a capillary tube to a certain height such that the upward force due to surface tension is balanced by 75 x 10-4 N force due to the weight of the liquid. If the surface tension of water is 6 x 10-2 N/m, the inner circumference of the capillary must be

1. 1.25 x 10-2 m

2. 0.50 x 10-2 m

3. 6.5 x 10-2 m

4. 12.5 x 10-2 m

Drops of a liquid are usually more spherical in shape than larger drops of same liquid because

1. force of surface tension is equal and opposite to force of gravity

2. force of surface tension predominates the force of gravity

3. force of gravity predominates the force of surface tension

4. force of gravity and surface tension are equal and in same direction
