Physics Mechanical Properties of Fluids MHT CET

Water rises upto a height 'h' in a capillary tube on the surface of the earth. The value of 'h' will increase if the experimental setup is kept in g = acceleration due to gravity [MHT-CET 2022]

(A)A lift going upward with a certain acceleration
(B)Accelerating train
(C)A satellite rotating close to earth
(D)A lift going down with acceleration a < gCorrect

Answer: (D)

Solution

Since , h rises only if the effective gravity falls; an upward-accelerating lift increases it, an accelerating train adds only a horizontal component (the vertical rise does not
