The answer is; the density of the liquid suppresses the height to which it can rise

The density acts in the opposite direction of capillary action. Capillary action allows the liquid to rise in the tube and the narrower the tube the higher the capillary action and the higher the liquid rises. The denser the liquid however, the lower it will rise. The column stops rising when the capillary force is balanced by the weight of the rising liquid due to gravity.

A long copper wire of radius 0.321 mm has a linear charge density of 0.100 μC/m. Find the electric field at a point 5.00 cm from

krek1111 [17]

Answer:

$E=35921.96N/C$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Radius $r=0.321mm$

Charge Density $\mu=0.100$

Distance $d= 5.00 cm$

Generally the equation for electric field is mathematically given by

$E=\frac{mu}{2\pi E_0r}$

$E=\frac{0.100*10^{-6}}{2*3.142*8.86*10^{-12}*5*10^{-2}}$

$E=35921.96N/C$

What is pressure in physics

harkovskaia [24]

Pressure is the force per unit area. This means that the pressure a solid object exerts on another solid surface is its weight in newton’s divided by its area in square metres
