Capillarity "Capillarity causes the part of the surface of a liquid in contact with a solid, to be either elevated above (e.g. water), or depressed below (e.g. mercury), the rest of the surface. This trait is named for the behaviour of liquids in capillary tubes placed perpendicular to the surface. The forces operating within capillarity are cohesion, adhesion, and surface tension."

Brut [27]

Answer:

The corridor's distance is "90 m".

Explanation:

  • She heads in the east directions but creates the first pause, meaning she crosses the distance 'x' in step 1.
  • Now, provided that perhaps the distance by her to another fountain or waterfall just after the first stop is twice as far away she traveled.
  • Because she moved the distance of 'x,' then, therefore, her distance towards the fountain of '2x.' She casually strolls and once again pauses 60 m beyond her stop.
  • The gap about her to the waterfall during that time approximately twice the distance and her to the eastern end of the hallway.
  • Assume her gap from either the east end of the platform seems to be 'y' at either the second stop, after which '2y' may become the distance between the 2nd pause and the waterfall.

Now,

⇒  2x + 2y = 60

⇒  x + y = 30

The total distance of the corridor will be:

=  x + 2x + 2y + y

=  3\times (x + y)

=  3\times 30

=  90 \ m
