JEE MAIN - Physics (2005 - No. 30)
A $$20$$ $$cm$$ long capillary tube is dipped in water. The water rises up to $$8$$ $$cm.$$ If the entire arrangement is put in a freely falling elevator the length of water column in the capillary tube will be
$$10$$ $$cm$$
$$8$$ $$cm$$
$$20$$ $$cm$$
$$4$$ $$cm$$
Explication
In freely falling elevator $$g$$ = 0
Water fills the tube entirely in gravity less condition. Hence, length of water column in the capillary tube is 20 cm.
