Liquid A rises to a height of 10 cm in a capillary tube and liquid B falls to a depth of 2 cm in the same tube. The density of A and B are 1 g/cm3 and 10 g/cm3 respectively. The contact angle of A and B with the tube is 0° and 135° respectively. If the surface tension of A and B are SA and SB then the ratio SBSA is

The correct answer is: 22
Expression of capillary rise is given by, h=4scosθdρg
For A, expression is, hA=4sAcos0°dA×ρA×g
10=4sA×1dA×1×g  ...1
For B, expression is, hB=4sBcos135°dB×ρB×g
-2=4sB-12dB×10×g
2=4sB2×dB×10×g  ...2
On dividing 2 by 1,
210=4sB2×dB×10×g4sA×1dA×1×g
210=sB102sA
sBsA=22
