7) Two glass capillary tubes are dipped into water, one has a square cross-sectional area, the other has a circular cross-sectional area. Both of these areas are equal. What is the ratio of the height to which the water would rise in the square capillary tube to that in the circular capillary?

A capillary tube of radius $1 \mathrm{~mm}$ is kept vertical with the lower end in water. (a) Find the height of water raised in the capillary. (b) If the length of the capillary tube is half the answer of part (a), find the angle $\theta$ made by the water surface in the capillary with the wall.
Two capillary tubes of the same length but different radii r 1 and r 2 are fitted in parallel to the bottom of a vessel. The pressure head is P. What should be the radius of a single tube that can replace the two tubes so that the rate of flow is same as before
