Answer 24.
a. Obtuse or θ > 90°

The capillary action is a result of both adhesion and surface tension. If a capillary tube is held vertical in a liquid which has a concave meniscus. There always exists an excess pressure equal to 2s/R on the concave side of liquid are interphase. Where ‘S’ is the surface tension and R is the radius of curvature of a meniscus. Pressure just below the meniscus is p 2s/R, where P is the atmospheric pressure. The pressure outside the tube at a level of the meniscus is the atmospheric pressure’P’. Since the pressure at points in the same level of liquid must be the same, the liquid is pushed up in the tube to the height ‘h’ as shown in fig(a). In this position, the pressure of liquids column of height ‘h’ becomes equal to 2s/R. ∴ \(hpg=\frac { 2s }{ R }\) where p is the density and ‘g’ is an acceleration due to gravity.
From fig (b)


l = 2h or length increases.
