    Study Notes

    Capillary Rise Method

    • Effective for measuring surface tension but not interfacial tension.
    • Operates by measuring the height liquid ascends in a capillary tube.
    • Height continues to increase until upward and downward forces reach equilibrium.

    Opposing Forces

    • Upward Force: Arises from the liquid's surface tension.
    • Downward Force: Due to gravity acting on the mass of the liquid.

    Equilibrium Condition

    • At equilibrium, upward force equals downward force.
    • The relationship can be expressed as:
      • Surface tension × circumference = mass × acceleration due to gravity.

    Key Equations

    • Fundamental equation: ( γ × 2πr = mg )
    • Alternate forms of the equation:
      • ( γ × 2πr = Vρg )
      • ( γ × 2πr = πr²hρg )
      • ( 2γ = rhρg )
      • Final result for surface tension: ( γ = \frac{1}{2}rhρg ) (expressed in dyne/cm).

    Key Variables

    • r: Radius of the capillary tube.
    • h: Height of the liquid column in the tube.
    • ρ: Density of the liquid.
    • g: Acceleration due to gravity.

    Summary

    • Capillary rise method quantifies surface tension through liquid height measurement against the balance of forces.
    • Effective for precise calculations using fundamental physics concepts, demonstrating how surface tension impacts fluid behavior in narrow spaces.
