A 0.03 in. diameter glass tube is inserted into SAE 30 oilat 60°F. The contact angle (i. e., the angle a liquid forms in contact with a solid) of oilwith a glass surface is 22°. Determine the capillary rise of gasolinein the tube

The value of capillary rise in the tube = 0.0363 cm

Explanation:

Diameter of the glass tube = 0.03 meter

Contact angle = 22 degree

We know that the capillary rise (h) in the tube is given by the formula =

h = (2 α cos β) / (d g R )

⇒ d = density of gasoline = 749 kg /

   β = 22 degree

   R = radius of the tube = 0.015 m

   α = surface tension of gasoline = 0.0216 N / m

   cos 22 = 0.927

Put all the values in the above formula we get

⇒ h = (2 × 0.0216 × 0.927) / (749 × 9.81 × 0.015)

⇒ h = 0.0363 cm

This is the value of capillary rise in the tube.

note: the given question is incomplete.

complete question is given below.

which is an example of kinetic energy?

a. the energy stored in ethanol  

b. a hockey puck sliding across the ice  

c. a compressed spring  

d. a ball sitting at the top of a ramp

solution: the kinetic energy is the energy posses by the virtue of the motion of the object.

in the given options, a, c and d are the example of potential energy because it is the energy posses by the virtue of the rest of the object. but option b has the kinetic energy as the object is in motion.

hence, a hockey puck sliding across the ice   is the apex example of kinetic energy.

so, the option (b) a hockey puck sliding across the ice   is the correct option.
