Two vertical, parallel, clean glass plates are spaced a distance of $2 \mathrm{mm}$ apart. If the plates are placed in water, how high will the water rise between the plates due to capillary action?
Two large glass plates are placed vertically and parallel to each other inside a tank of water with separation between the plates equal to $1 \mathrm{~mm}$. Find the rise of water in the space between the plates. Surface tension of water $=0 \cdot 075 \mathrm{~N} \mathrm{~m}^{-1} .$
Find the attraction force between two parallel glass plates, separated by a distance h = 0.10 mm, after a water drop of mass m = 70 mg was introduced between them. The wetting is assumed to be complete.
