Properties of Fluids

The term fluid represents a type of substance that can easily change its shape under any external pressure/force and can flow. Fluids can acquire any shape in which it is stored and can resist normal stresses but cannot resist shear stress in rest condit…

Chapter 2, Problem 110EP

Nutrients dissolved in water are carried to upper parts of plants by tiny tubes partly because of the capillary effect. Determine how high the water solution will rise in a tree a 0.0026-mm-diameter tube as a result of the capillary effect. Treat the solution as water at 20 ° C with a contact angle of 15°.

Students have asked these similar questions

An enclosed cubic tank of side length 2 m is filled with water through a vertical stand- pipe of 50 mm diameter and 5 m height above the top of the tank. Water is poured slowly into the pipe until it overflows from the top of the pipe. What is the hydrostatic force exerted on the base of the tank? In order to avoid failure of the tank, it is suggested that the pipe diameter could be reduced to 25 mm. What would the loading be under these circumstances?

Can someone please help me to solve the following question showing all work.

Nutrients dissolved in water are carried to upper parts of plants by tiny tubes partly because of the capillary effect. Determine how high (in meters) the water solution will rise in a tree in a 0.005-mm-diameter tube as a result of the capillary effect. Treat the solution as water at 20°C with a contact angle of 15°.
