Question

The following observations were taken for determining surface tension of water by capillary tube method Diameter of capillary D = 1.25 × 10-2 m Rise of water capillary, h = 1.45 × 10-2 m. Taking g = 9.80m/s2 and using the relation T = (rhg/2) × 103 N.m, what is the possible error in surface tension. T -

Options

A.0.16%
B.1.6%
C.16%
D.2.4%

Solution

T =
× × 100
= 0.80 + 0.69 + 0.10 = 1.59 % = 1.6 %
