The following observations were taken for determining surface tension $T$ of water by capillary method:

diameter of capillary, $D= 1.25 \times 10^{-2}\; m$

rise of water, $h=1.45 \times 10^{-2}\; m $ 

Using $g= 9.80 \;m/s^2$ and the simplified relation $T = \frac{{rhg}}{2}\times 10^3 N/m$ , the possible error in surface tension is ........... $\%$

  • A$0.15 $
  • B$1.5$
  • C$2.4$
