Surface Tension Capillary Rise
Surface tension of two liquids (having same densities), T1 and T2 , are measured using capillary rise method utilizing two tubes with inner radii of r1 and r2 where r1 > r2 . The measured liquid heights in these tubes are h1 and h2 respectively. [Ignore the weight of the liquid about the lowest point of miniscus]. The heights h1 and h2 and surface tensions T1 and T2 satisfy the relation :
