Water rises in a capillary tube to a certain height such that the upward force due to surface tension is balanced by 75 X 10-4 N force due to the weight of the liquid. If the surface tension of water is 6 X 10-4 Nm-1 , the inner circumference of the capillary must be
(a) 1.25 X 10-2m
(b) 0.50 X 10-2m
(c) 6.5X 10-2m
(d) 12.5 X 10-2m
Ans. d
