Question
Explain the capillary rise of liquid. Deduce an expression for the rise.
Expert Solution

arrow_forward
Step 1
Capillarity is a physical phenomenon in which liquids flow without the help of gravity. Liquids also rise to a height against gravity through narrow tubes.
arrow_forward
Step 2
The capillary action is due to the surface tension of the liquid as well as the occurrence of adhesive forces between the liquid molecules and the molecules of the narrow tube. The surface tension is due to the harmonious attraction between the liquid molecules.
