Could someone help me solve the capillary rise method equation, with a worked example:

y= hpgr/2

Thank you soo much

I can not explain you better than the Wikipedia or any other good resource does. My textbook even has this thing of 3 pages ! My hands would ache writing. :biggrin:

So go through these sites and ask the thing you specifically failed to fathom there :
