Calculate the capillary effect in mm in a glass tube of 4 mm diameter, when immersed in (i) water, and (ii) mercury. The temperature of the liquid is 20°C and values of the surface tension of water and mercury at 20°C in contact with air are 0.073 N/m and 0.51 N/m respectively. The angle of contact for water is zero and that for mercury is 130°. Take density of water at 20°C as 998 kg/m.
