Expression of Capillary Rise by Forces:-

Hello everyone, we have studied the concept of surface tension, angle of contact in previous articles. In this article we are going to discuss the importance of surface tension in explanation of cracking of rock, sag supply to the plant leaves, function of nib in ink pen and many more.

Capillary and capillary action is one of the most important effects of surface tension. So let’s discuss the capillary and capillary rise in detail.

Let’s discuss the concept.……………!

If the capillary tube is inserted into a liquid which wets the glass, the liquid rises in the capillary to a certain height.

Consider capillary of radius ‘r’ is dipped vertically in liquid of density ρ . Let ‘h’ is the height of liquid that rises in capillary when dipped in liquid. If ‘T’ is the surface tension of the liquid, the force acts along a tangent to the liquid meniscus, making an angle ‘θ’ with the well of the capillary. The meniscus is concave as shown in fig. below.

At point of contact the surface tension T acts tangentially to the surface, which is resolved into,

  1. T cosθ- acting vertically upward.
  2. T sin θ- in horizontal direction.

The horizontal component T sin θ is directed outwards due to all molecules along circumference, hence cancels each other. The only component of force acting due to surface is then Tcosθ which is nothing but the total vertical component of force is acting over complete circumference is,

∴ Total upward force on liquid = 2 π r (T cosθ)……… (1)

This force is balanced by the weight of liquid column inside capillary tube. So net downward force is given by,

∴ Total downward force on liq. = mg …….…… (2)

But Mass of liquid column, m= ρV

∴ m=ρ π r2 h

On substituting in equation (2)

∴ Total downward force on liq = ρ π r2 h g

∴ Total downward force on liquid = ρ π r2 h g   ……… (3)

For equilibrium of liquid column inside capillary

Total upward force = Total downward force

∴ 2 π r (T cosθ) = ρ π r2 h g

∴ 2 (T cosθ) = ρ r h g

Equation (4) gives the formula for the rise in liquid in capillary when it is dipped in liquid; equation (5) gives the formula for surface tension of liquid.

Some important terms…………….!

(1) Rise in capillary is inversely proportional to the radius of capillary,

(2) Rise in capillary is increases when soluble impurities are added to liquid and decreases when insoluble impurities are added in liquid.
