[QUOTE="Navin, post: 6075114, member: 646092"] [h2]Homework Statement [/h2] A 20 cm long capillary tube is dipled in water.The water rises up to 8cm .if the entire arrangement is put in a freely falling elevator ,the length of the water column is A)10cm B)8cm C)20cm D)4cm [h2]Homework Equations[/h2] Its a theoretical sum [h2]The Attempt at a Solution[/h2] Okay...since this is a freely falling elevator ,the reletive accelaration will be zero and hence i feel the fluid will maintain its orignal height of 8cm But alas ,the book says its 20cm and have give the reason that since its "gravityless" ie :rel accelaration 0, it will occupy full capillary tube. [Edit 1 -fixed a typo Edit 2 - i wrote about what i did in Edit 1] [/QUOTE]
