\bullet{\underline{\sf{\color{lightpink}{Capillary\: Action:-}}}}

⭑The phenomenon of RISE and fall of liquid in a capillary tube is KNOWN as Capillary Action.

\bullet{\underline{\sf{\color{lightpink}{Concept:-}}}}

⭑It is experimentally found that PRESSURE below concave surface is less than 2T/R from pressure just above it. In order to compensate this pressure DIFFERENCE liquid RISES inside capillary tube.

\bullet{\underline{\sf{\color{lightpink}{Derivation:-}}}}

According to concept;

\rightarrow{ \tt{\frac{2T}{R}  =  \rho gh}} \\  \\  \rightarrow \:{ \bf{ h =  \frac{2T}{R \rho  g}}} \:  \:  \:  \:  \:  \: ...(1)

\boxed{ \sf{cos \theta =  \frac{r}{R}  \: \:  \:  r = radius \: of \: capillary \: tube}} \\

\rightarrow \: { \tt{R =  \frac{r}{cos \theta} }} \:  \:  \:  \: ...(2) \\  \\{ \sf{ putting \: eq(2) \: into \:  \: eq(1)}} \\  \\  \leadsto{ \boxed{ \bf{h =  \frac{2T}{r \rho  g} cos \theta}}} \\
