Capillary Rise when Contact is between Water and Glass Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Capillary Rise (or Depression) = (2*Surface Tension)/(Radius of Tube*Specific Weight of Water in KN per cubic meter*1000)
h_c = (2*σ)/(r_t*W*1000)
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Capillary Rise (or Depression) - (Measured in Meter) - Capillary Rise (or Depression) is the rise or fall in a liquid due to a net upward force produced by the attraction of the liquid molecules to a solid surface.
Surface Tension - (Measured in Newton per Meter) - Surface Tension is a word that is linked to the liquid surface. It is a physical property of liquids, in which the molecules are drawn onto every side.
Radius of Tube - (Measured in Meter) - Radius of Tube is defined as the distance from longitudinal axis of tube to the periphery perpendicularly.
Specific Weight of Water in KN per cubic meter - (Measured in Kilonewton per Cubic Meter) - Specific Weight of Water in KN per cubic meter is the weight per unit volume of water.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Surface Tension: 72.75 Newton per Meter --> 72.75 Newton per Meter No Conversion Required
Radius of Tube: 5.1 Meter --> 5.1 Meter No Conversion Required
Specific Weight of Water in KN per cubic meter: 9.81 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter --> 9.81 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

h_c = (2*σ)/(r_t*W*1000) --> (2*72.75)/(5.1*9.81*1000)

Evaluating ... ...

h_c = 0.0029081969179109

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.0029081969179109 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.0029081969179109 ≈ 0.002908 Meter <-- Capillary Rise (or Depression)

What is the main cause Capillarity?

Capillarity is the result of surface, or interfacial, forces. The rise of water in a thin tube inserted in water is caused by forces of attraction between the molecules of water and the glass walls and among the molecules of water themselves. The narrower the bore of the capillary tube, the higher the water rises.

How to Calculate Capillary Rise when Contact is between Water and Glass?

Capillary Rise when Contact is between Water and Glass calculator uses Capillary Rise (or Depression) = (2*Surface Tension)/(Radius of Tube*Specific Weight of Water in KN per cubic meter*1000) to calculate the Capillary Rise (or Depression), The Capillary Rise when contact is between Water and Glass formula is defined as a function of Surface Tension, Radius of Tube and Specific Weight of Water.
