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)
