Question

Glass tubes of the following diameters are arranged in a water trough. Rank the following glass tubes in decreasing order of their capillary rise.

Rank from highest to lowest capillary rise. To rank items as equivalent, overlap them.
1.25 mm, 1 mm, 0.75 mm, 0.25 mm, 0.50 mm

Answer 1

0.25 mm> 0.50 mm > 0.75 mm> 1mm> 1.25 mm

Step-by-step explanation:

Capillary movement involves the movement of liquid up through a capillary tube.

Looking at the question, we can see all the various diameters of the capillary tube are involved.

Note that, that the narrower the diameter of the capillary tube, the better the capillary action of the liquid (the liquid rises more now than then).
