STANDARD Physics Capillarity MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 11
A capillary tube of radius r is immersed in water and water rises in it to a height h. The mass of water in the capillary tube is 5 g. Another capillary tube of radius 2r is immersed in water. The mass of water that will rise in this tube is
A
2.5 g
B
5.0 g
C
10 g
D
20 g
Correct Answer
Option C
Detailed Explanation
The mass of water is proportional to the radius of the tube. Therefore, doubling the radius doubles the mass of water, resulting in 10 g.
