(Give answer in closest integer) _____.
(Give answer in closest integer) _____.
Correct Answer: 101
Explanation:
Capillary rise
h = ${{2T\cos \theta } \over {\rho gr}}$
$ \Rightarrow $ T = ${{\rho grh} \over {2\cos \theta }}$
= ${{\left( {900} \right)\left( {10} \right)\left( {15 \times {{10}^{ - 5}}} \right)\left( {15 \times {{10}^{ - 2}}} \right)} \over 2}$
= 1012.5 $ \times $ 10–4
= 101.25 × 10–3 = 101.25 mN/m
$ \simeq $ 101.00 mN/m
h = ${{2T\cos \theta } \over {\rho gr}}$
$ \Rightarrow $ T = ${{\rho grh} \over {2\cos \theta }}$
= ${{\left( {900} \right)\left( {10} \right)\left( {15 \times {{10}^{ - 5}}} \right)\left( {15 \times {{10}^{ - 2}}} \right)} \over 2}$
= 1012.5 $ \times $ 10–4

f = ${1 \over {2l}}\sqrt {{T \over \mu }} = $${1 \over {2l}}\sqrt {{T \over {{\rho _{wire}}A}}} $
= ${1 \over {2l}}\sqrt {{{Y\Delta l} \over {{\rho _{wire}} A}}} $
$ = {1 \over {2 \times 1}}\sqrt {{{9 \times {{10}^{10}} \times 4.9 \times {{10}^{ - 4}}} \over {9000 \times 1}}} $
= 35 Hz
= ${{9 \times {{10}^{ - 3}}} \over {{{10}^{ - 6}}}}$ kg/m3 = 9000 kg/m2
f = ${1 \over {2l}}\sqrt {{T \over \mu }} = $${1 \over {2l}}\sqrt {{T \over {{\rho _{wire}}A}}} $
= ${1 \over {2l}}\sqrt {{{Y\Delta l} \over {{\rho _{wire}} A}}} $
$ = {1 \over {2 \times 1}}\sqrt {{{9 \times {{10}^{10}} \times 4.9 \times {{10}^{ - 4}}} \over {9000 \times 1}}} $

If $r < < R$ and the surface tension of water is $T,$ value of $r$ just before bubbles detach is: (density of water is ${\rho _w}$)
A.
${R^2}\sqrt {{{{\rho _w}g} \over {3T}}} $
B.
${R^2}\sqrt {{{{\rho _w}g} \over {6T}}} $
C.
