Question
If the length of the capillary tube is less than required, will the water flow out of it?
✓
Answer
No, after reaching the top the water adjusts the radius of curvature of the water surface in such away that the condition $T =\frac{h r d g}{2}$ for the length of the tube is fulfilled.

A particle is projected in air at an angle $\beta$ to a surface which itself is inclined at an angle $\alpha$ to the horizontal (Fig.).

- Find an expression of range on the plane surface (distance on the plane from the point of projection at which particle will hit the surface).
- Point P at which particle hits the plane can be seen as intersection of its trajectory (parobola) and straight line. Remember particle is projected at an angle $(\alpha+\beta)$ w.r.t. horizontal.
- We can take x-direction along the plane and y-direction perpendicular to the plane. In that case resolve g (acceleration due to gravity) in two differrent components, $g_x$ along the plane and $g_y$ perpendicular to the plane. Now the problem can be solved as two independent motions in x and y directions respectively with time as a common parameter.)
