Two parallel glass plates are dipped partly in the liquid of density 'd' keeping them vertical. If the distance between the plates is 'x', surface tension for liquids is T and the angle of contact is θ, then rise of liquid between the plates due to capillary will be 

1. T cosθxd

2. 2T cosθxdg

3. 2T xdgcosθ

4. T cosθxdg

Water rises in a capillary tube to a certain height such that the upward force due to surface tension is balanced by 75×10-4 N force due to the weight of the liquid. If the surface tension of water is 6×10-2 Nm-1, the inner circumference of the capillary must be:

1. 1.25×10-2 m 

2. 0.50×10-2 m

3. 6.5×10-2 m

4. 12.5×10-2 m
