MHT CET 2025 Physics question
Water rises up to height 'x' in a capillary tube immersed vertically in water. When the whole arrangement is taken to a depth 'd' in a mine, the water level rises up to height Y. If R is the radius of the earth then the ratio Y : x is
Answer: (B)
Solution
The capillary rise is , so when everything else is unchanged. At depth inside the earth, (g decreases linearly with depth). Therefore
