Q3) Calculate the ratio between the height to which ethyl alcohol rises to water by capillary action in the same glass tube. The surface tension of water N/m is 0.0728 and ethyl alcohol N/m of 0.0223, the contact angle of water and ethyl alcohol (0°) and the density of water (kg/m3 1000) and of ethyl alcohol (g/ml 0.790)?

The viscosity of a multigrade motor oil (such as one rated10W-40) is less temperature dependent than the viscosities ofmost substances. These oils contain polymers (long moleculescomposed of repeating units) that coil up at low temperatures butunwind at higher temperatures. Explain how the addition ofthese polymers to the motor oil might make the viscosity lesstemperature dependent than a normal liquid.
