    Liquid rises to a height of 2 cm in a capillary tube. The angle of contact between the solid and the liquid is zero. The tube is depressed more now to that the tip of the capillary tube is only 1 cm above the liquid then, the apparent angle of contact between solid and liquid is :

    A) \[0{}^\circ \]

    B) \[30{}^\circ \]

    C) \[60{}^\circ \]

    D) liquid just flows out and angle of contact is not well defined

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    In normal conditions, when the force of surface tension becomes equal to the weight of water column raised in the tube, the rising of water stops. When the tube is depressed then liquid just flows out and the angle of contact is not well defined.
