Question
A glass capillary tube is of the shape of a truncated cone with an apex angle $\alpha$ so that its two ends have cross sections of different radii. When dipped in water vertically, water rises in it to a height $h$, where the radius of its cross section is $b$. If the surface tension of water is $S$, its density is $\rho$, and its contact angle with glass is $\theta$, the value of $h$ will be ( $g$ is the acceleration due to gravity)
Select the correct option:
A
$\frac{2 \mathrm{~S}}{\mathrm{~b} \rho \mathrm{~g}} \cos (\theta-\alpha)$
B
$\frac{2 \mathrm{~S}}{\mathrm{~b} \rho \mathrm{~g}} \cos (\theta+\alpha)$
C
$\frac{2 \mathrm{~S}}{\mathrm{~b}_{\rho \mathrm{g}}} \cos (\theta-\alpha / 2)$
D
$\frac{2 \mathrm{~S}}{\mathrm{~b} \rho \mathrm{~g}} \cos (\theta+\alpha / 2)$
