Calculate the height of capillary rise in a soil pore of 50 μm inner diameter in winter (5°C), spring (20°C), summer (30°C), and the tropics (40°C).

Question
Calculate the height of capillary rise in a soil
pore of 50 µm inner diameter in winter
(5°C), spring (20°C), summer (30°C), and the
tropics (40°C).
Compute the maximum size of the pores
that will retain water in soil corresponding
to suction (capillary height) of 330 cm and
15,000 cm of water.
