  • question_answer
    The radii of the two columns in U tube are \[{{r}_{1}}\] and \[{{r}_{2}}\]. When a liquid of density p (angle of contact is \[0{}^\circ \]) is fillied in it the level difference of liquid in two arms is h. The surface tension of liquid is (g = acceleration due to gravity)

    A) \[\frac{\rho gh{{r}_{1}}{{r}_{2}}}{2({{r}_{2}}-{{r}_{1}})}\]   

    B)        \[\frac{\rho gh({{r}_{1}}-{{r}_{2}})}{2{{r}_{2}}{{r}_{1}}}\]

    C) \[\frac{2({{r}_{1}}-{{r}_{2}})}{\rho gh{{r}_{1}}{{r}_{2}}}\]   

    D)        \[\frac{\rho gh}{2({{r}_{2}}-{{r}_{1}})}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Let \[{{h}_{1}},{{h}_{2}}\] be the heights to which liquid rises in two columns of radii \[{{r}_{1}}\] and \[{{r}_{2}}\] respectively. Then \[{{h}_{1}}=\frac{25\cos 0{}^\circ }{{{r}_{1}}\rho g}=\frac{2S}{{{r}_{1}}\rho g}\] Where s is the surface tension of liquid. and \[{{h}_{2}}=\frac{2S\cos 0{}^\circ }{{{r}_{2}}\rho g}=\frac{2S}{{{r}_{2}}\rho g}\] \[\therefore \] Difference in levels of liquid in two arms of U tube is             \[h={{h}_{1}}-{{h}_{2}}=\frac{2S}{\rho g}\left[ \frac{1}{{{r}_{1}}}-\frac{1}{{{r}_{2}}} \right]=2S\frac{({{r}_{2}}-{{r}_{1}})}{{{r}_{1}}{{r}_{2}}\rho g}\]             \[S=\frac{{{r}_{1}}{{r}_{2}}\rho gh}{2({{r}_{2}}-{{r}_{1}})}\]
