Step-by-step solution
2 stepsRecall the formula for capillary rise or fall.
The height to which a liquid rises or falls in a capillary tube is given by:
where is the surface tension, is the angle of contact, is the radius of the capillary tube, is the density of the liquid, and is the acceleration due to gravity.
List the given values for water and mercury.
For water (subscript 'w'):
- Height of rise,
- Density,
