Sketch diagrams to show the level of liquid in a capillary tube when cohesion is greater than adhesion and when adhesion is greater than cohesion. Explain the difference.

ScanSolve AI Answer

Here are the sketch diagrams to show the level of liquid in a capillary tube:

a) Cohesion greater than adhesion (e.g., mercury in a glass tube)
In this case, the liquid level inside the capillary tube will be depressed (lower than the surrounding liquid level), and the meniscus will be convex.
