Mechanical Properties of Fluids · Surface tension
When a part of a straight capillary tube is placed vertically in a liquid, the liquid rises upto certain height h. If the inner radius of the capillary tube, density of the liquid and surface tension of the liquid decrease by 1 % each, then the height of the liquid in the tube will change by %.
