Lower end of capillary tube of radius r is placed vertically in water then the amount of heat evolved with rise of water in the capillary is?
Density of water is . Let be the rise in water level. is acceleration due to gravity.

First find the force due to surface tension in vertical direction. And thus work done by the force due to surface tension.Let this be W Then write an expression for rise in PE of water in the tube. Let this be ∆PE Thus heat = W-∆PE Hence heat =+ πr^2h^2dg/2
