Water column inside a glass capillary tube is 4 cm long. Mercury surface in the same tube is depressed by 1.23 cm. Compare the surface tension of mercury with that of water. Given: Density of water = 10³ kg/m³ Density of mercury = 13.6 × 10³ kg/m³ Angle of contact for water is 0° and angle of contact for mercury is 130°.
