Question

Nutrients dissolved in water are carried to the upper parts of plants by tiny tubes, partly because of the capillary effect. Determine how high the water solution will rise in a tree in a 0.0052-mm-diameter tube as a result of the capillary effect. Treat the solution as water at 20 degrees Celsius with a contact angle of 0 degrees. Please select one: a. 5.73m b. 11.1m c. 11.45m d. 1.43m

Nutrients dissolved in water are carried to upper parts of plants by tiny tubes partly because of the capillary effect. Determine how high the water solution will rise in a tree in a 0.0026-mm-diameter tube as a result of the capillary effect. Treat the solution as water at 20°C with a contact angle of 15°

Nutrients dissolved in water are carried to the upper parts of plants by tiny tubes due to the capillary effect. Determine how high water will rise in a tree in a 0.0008 cm-diameter tube as a result of the capillary effect with a contact angle of 20°. Give your final answer in centimeters (surface tension of water = 0.0727 N/m, ρ water = 998 kg/m³).

00:02 We know the formula of capillary rise is h is equal to 2t cost theta divided by row g r0.
00:20 We have to find h and remaining values are given.
00:22 So here capillary effect is happening.
00:25 Here capillary effect is happening.
00:35 So there will be a capillary effect.
00:42 Rise a capillary rise so we have to determine the height of the rise so we know the formula for capillary rise as this so where t is the surface tension surface tension of water and the row is the we can say row is the density of water then we have this g theta is the angle of content contact and similarly g is the acceleration due to gravity and r is the radius of the tube...
