A capillary tube of radius 0.5 mm is immersed in a beaker of mercury. The level inside the tube is 0.8 cm below the level in beaker and angle of contact is 120°. What is the surface tension of mercury, if the mass density of mercury is ρ = 13.6 x103 kgm-3 and acceleration due to gravity is g = 10 m/s2 ?

  • 0.225 N/m

  • 0.544 N/m

  • 0.285 N/m

  • 0.375 N/m


B.

0.544 N/m

Given,

Radius of capillary tube = 0.5 mm

                                   = 0.5 × 10-3 m

Level inside tube = 0.8 cm

                         = 0.8 × 10-2 m

Angle of contract, θ = 120°

Mass density of mercury, ρ = 13.6 × 103 kg/m3

Acceleration due to gravity, g = 10 m/s2

             h = 2T cos θrρgT = hrρg2 cos θ   = 0.8 × 10-2 × 0.5 × 10-3 × 13.6 × 103 × 102 × cos 120   = 0.8 × 10-2 × 0.5 × 10-3 × 13.6 × 103 × 102 × 12   = 0.8 × 0.5 × 13.6 × 10-1   = 0.544 N/m


If a capillary tube of radius r is immersed in a liquid, then the liquid rises to a height h. The corresponding mass of liquid column is m. The mass of water that would rise in another capillary tube of twice the radius is

  • 2 m

  • 5 m

  • 3 m

  • 4 m


A.

2 m

Given, radius of first capillary tube = r
Height of rised liquid in first capillary tube = h
Mass of liquid in first capillary tube = m

We know that,

    m  πr2hor m  r2h    rh = constantSo, h  1r  m  rNow, m2m1 = r2r1     m2m1 = r2r1 = 2           m2 = 2m1 or m2 = 2m       m1 = m


Spherical balls of radius R are falling in a viscous fluid of viscosity η with a velocity v. The retarding viscous force acting on the spherical ball is

  • directly proportional to R but inversely proportional to v.

  • directly proportional to both radius R and velocity v.

  • inversely proportional to both radius R and velocity v.

  • inversely proportional to both radius R and velocity v.


B.

directly proportional to both radius R and velocity v.

Retarding force acting on a ball falling into a viscous fluid
F = 6πηRv
where R = radius of the ball
v = velocity of ball and
η = coefficient of viscosity
∴ F ∝ R and F ∝ v
Or in words, retarding force is proportional to both R and v

If two soap bubbles of different radii are connected by a tube,

  • air flows from the bigger bubble to the smaller bubble till the sizes are interchanged.

  • air flows from bigger bubble to the smaller bubble till the sizes are interchanged

  • air flows from the smaller bubble to the bigger.

  • air flows from the smaller bubble to the bigger.


C.

air flows from the smaller bubble to the bigger.

The excess pressure inside the soap bubble is inversely proportional to the radius of soap bubble i.e. P ∝1/r, r being the radius of the bubble. It follows that pressure inside a smaller bubble is greater than that inside a bigger bubble. Thus, if these two bubbles are connected by a tube, air will flow from smaller bubble to bigger bubble and the bigger bubble grows at the expense of the smaller one.
