Questions and Answers

What is the relationship between the pressure due to the liquid column in a capillary and the pressure difference due to concavity?

  • They are unrelated
  • They are directly proportional
  • They are inversely proportional
  • They are equal (correct)

How is the mass of the liquid in capillary rise calculated?

  • $V = r^2h$
  • $V = r^2h$
