dk_ch said:An empty cylindrical vessel with a small circular hole of radius r at the bottom is dipped vertically in a liquid of density d keeping the bottom downward. At what maximum depth can it be dipped before the liquid enters into it? The surface tension of the liquid is S. The answer given in the text is √(2S/rdg). Is the answer correct?

How does square root arise here?
The purpose of this experiment is to determine the accuracy of the volume measurements of the cylinder when submerged in liquid.
To perform this experiment, fill a container with liquid and place a cylinder with a small hole in it inside the container. Make sure the cylinder is completely submerged in the liquid. Record the volume of liquid that enters the cylinder through the small hole and compare it to the known volume of the cylinder.
The accuracy of this experiment can be affected by the type of liquid used, the temperature of the liquid, and the size and placement of the small hole on the cylinder.
Potential sources of error in this experiment include human error in reading the volume measurements, errors in the known volume of the cylinder, and variations in the temperature and density of the liquid.
The accuracy of this experiment can be improved by using a smaller and more precise measuring device, using a liquid with a known and consistent density, and repeating the experiment multiple times to reduce the effects of human error.
