Calculate the maximum capillary rise/fall of mercury in a 0.5 mm radius glass capillary. Assume that the surface tension for mer

cury is 0.51 Nm/s; Temperature is 15.5 C; specific gravity =13.3, and an angle made by mercury with the glass was measured to be 50o. Assume mercury and glass form a nonwetted surface (5 points).

Answer: 0.01 m

Explanation: The formulae for capillarity rise or fall is given below as

h = (2T×cosθ)/rpg

Where θ = angle mercury made with glass = 50°

T = surface tension = 0.51 N/m

g = acceleration due gravity = 9.8 m/s²

r = radius of tube = 0.5mm = 0.0005m

p = density of mercury.

h = height of rise or fall

From the question, specific gravity of density = 13.3

Where specific gravity = density of mercury/ density of water, where density of water = 1000 kg/m³

Hence density of mercury = 13.3×1000 = 13,300 kg/m³.

By substituting parameters, we have that

h = 2×0.51×cos 50/0.0005×9.8×13,300

h = 0.6556/65.17

h = 0.01 m

A liquid has a volume of 100 cm and a mass of 85g.
djyliett [7]

Answer:

B. Its density is lower than that of water

Explanation:

density = mass / volume

density of the liquid = 85 / 100 = 0.85 g/cm^3

now,

density of water is 1 g/cm^3 which is greater than the density of the given liquid ( 0.85 g/cm^3 )
