Calculate the capillary effect in millimeters in a glass tube of 4 mm diameter, when immersed in water and mercury respectively. The temperature of the liquid is 20°C and the values of the surface tension of water and mercury in contact with air are 0.073575 N/m and 0.51 N/m respectively. The angle of contact for water is zero and that for mercury is 130⁰. Take density of water at 20°C as equal to 998 kg/m³.
