Due to surface tension of water the component T cos @ acting all along the circumference of the capillary tube 2 pi r would get added as 2 pi r T cos@. Here @ is the angle of contact of water with the material of the tube ie glass.
Hence this uplifts the water to a height till its weight gets balanced by 2 pi r T cos@.
What else can I help you with?
Capillary action occurs when water rises from the water table into?
The capillary fringe
When water defies gravity and climbs tubes it is called?
It is still called water. The phenomenon that it's demonstrating is called capillary action.
Vascular plants what causes the water to go up the tubes?
Capillary Action
What is the tendency of water molecules to move up tiny tubes called?
Capillary action.
What is the capillary effect?
When water rises from the soil by the roots of the plant. The capillary effect is done in a lot of things. Example: When water is obsorbed by the paper up the toilet paper tube.
Water can creep up thin tubes in?
This is known as capillary action, where water molecules are able to defy gravity and move upward in thin tubes due to the combined forces of cohesion (water molecules sticking together) and adhesion (water molecules sticking to the tube surface). This process is important for plants in transporting water from the roots to the rest of the plant.
Why there is capillary action and why the effect is greater for narrower tubes?
Liquid rises in and out of cappilarry to compansate pressure difference. Rise of a liquid in capillary is indirectly proportional to radius of tube so liquid goes higher in a narrow tube.
How are polarity and cohesion involved in the capillary action of a plant?
It draws narrow tubes inside plant stems to get the water.
When the hollow tubes in stems of plants that transport water from the root to the rest of the plant are?
The process is capillary action. The part is the xylem
What it the definition of capillary motion?
Capillary motion is a movement of liquids in small tubes. This motion can be also ascensional.
The force that draws water up narrow tubes against the force of gravity is a?
Capillary action, which is the result of adhesive and cohesive forces between the water molecules and the tube surface, allows water to climb up narrow tubes against gravity. This phenomenon is due to the combination of surface tension and the adhesive forces between the water and the tube material.
What is the basic use of capillary tube?
Capillary tubes are renowned for their capillary action on liquids, i.e. they cause liquids to rise up inside them. Capillary tubes are the essence of thermometers that use a liquid indicator. In biology and the plant world, capillary tubes are fundamental to the movement of fluids through the systems of living organisms.
