In a capillary tube experiment, a vertical \(30~\text{cm}\) long capillary tube is dipped in water. The water rises up to a height of \(10~\text{cm}\) due to capillary action. If this experiment is conducted in a freely falling elevator, the length of the water column becomes:
1. \(10~\text{cm}\)
2. \(20~\text{cm}\)
3. \(30~\text{cm}\)
4. Zero
