Answer :
The ratio of their radii is 3 : 1
Step-by-step Explanation :
Given : 1) Rise of liquid one capillary H1 = 2.2 cm,
2) Rise of liquid second capillary H2 = 6.6 cm
To find : Ratio of their radii = ?
Height of liquid in a capillary tube is,
H = 2T/ ρgr
(where T is surface tension of fluid)
The capillary rise is inversely proportional to the tube radius.
H α 1/R
Therefore H1 × R1 = H2 × R2
2·2 × R1 = 6·6 × R2
The ratio of radii = R1/R2 = 6.6/2.2 = 3/1
