Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 11
If the surface tension of water is 0.06 N m⁻¹, then the capillary rise in a tube of a diameter 1 mm is
A
1.22 cm
B
2.44 cm
C
3.12 cm
D
3.86 cm
Correct Answer
Option B
Detailed Explanation
The capillary rise is calculated using the formula h = (2S cos θ) / (rρg). Substituting the given values, we find h = 2.44 cm.
