The maximum capillary rise of a liquid is determined by the formula 2σ/(ρgr), where σ represents surface tension, ρ is the liquid density, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and r is the radius of the capillary. This formula applies under the assumption of an infinite surrounding reservoir. However, when considering a narrower surrounding, the dynamics of the liquid in motion must be taken into account for accurate calculations. The discussion emphasizes the importance of precise language in problem statements to avoid misinterpretation.
PREREQUISITESStudents and professionals in physics, engineering, and fluid mechanics who are interested in the dynamics of liquids and capillary action in various environments.
That is for the case where the surrounding reservoir is effectively infinite in area. How do you think it might be affected by a narrower surround?Rituraj131 said:
Thank you for you response. Actually the problem needs a dynamic treatment of the liquid in motionharuspex said:
Ah, ok... you unintentionally altered the statement by writing "is just in contact" instead of "is put in contact".Rituraj131 said:
