Q74 / 75 · JEE Main 2020 (03 Sep Shift 1) · Physics

When a long glass capillary tube of radius 0.015cm is dipped in a liquid, the liquid rises to a height of 15 cm within it. If the contact angle between the liquid and glass to close to 0°, the surface tension of the liquid, in milliNewton m-1, is ρ(liqued) =900 kg m-3,g=10 m s-2 (Given answer in closed integer)

Correct answer: 101

Solution

Using the concept of rise due to surface tension,

 2Tr=hρg

T=rhρg2=15×10-5×15×10-2×900×102=101 milliNewton m-1

Hence, the correct answer is 101.
