Momentum and CollisionHard

Question

Two very wide parallel glass plates are held vertically at a small separation, d, and dipped in water. Some water climes up in the gap between the plates. Let S be the surface tension of water, P0 = atmospheric pressure, P = pressure of water just below the water surface in the region between the plates -

Options

A.P = P0 -
B.P = P0 +
C.P = P0 -
D.P = P0 +

Solution

The free liquid surface between the plates is cylindrical and curved along one axis only so radius of curvature
r = and P0 - P = ⇒ P = P0 -
