MCQ
Two capillary tubes of same diameter are put vertically one each in two liquids whose relative densities are $0.8$ and $0.6$ and surface tensions are $60$ and $50\, dyne/cm$ respectively Ratio of heights of liquids in the two tubes $\frac{h_1}{h_2}$ is
  • A
    $\frac{10}{9}$
  • B
    $\frac{3}{10}$
  • C
    $\frac{10}{3}$
  • $\frac{9}{10}$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$\frac{9}{10}$
d
Ascent formula $\mathrm{h}=\frac{2 \mathrm{T} \cos \theta}{\mathrm{rdg}}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{\mathrm{h}_{1}}{\mathrm{h}_{2}}=\frac{\mathrm{T}_{1}}{\mathrm{T}_{2}} \times \frac{\mathrm{d}_{2}}{\mathrm{d}_{1}} \quad[\mathrm{r}, \theta \text { and } \mathrm{g} \text { are constants }]$

$=\frac{60}{50} \times \frac{0.6}{0.8}=\frac{9}{10}$

Two particle of mass $m$ each are tied at the ends of a light string of length $2 \mathrm{a}$. The whole system is kept on a frictionless horizontal surface with the string held tight so that each mass is at a distance $'a'$ from the center $\mathrm{P}$ (as shown in the figure). Now, the mid-point of the string is pulled vertically upwards with a small but constant force $F$. As a result, the particles move towards each other on the surface. The magnitude of acceleration, when the separation between them becomes $2 \mathrm{x}$ is
