When a 2-mm-diameter tube is inserted into a liquid in an open tank, the liquid is observed to rise 8 mm above the free surface of the liquid. The contact angle between the liquid and the tube is zero, and the specific weight of the liquid is 1.2 x 104 N/m³. Determine the value of the surface tension for this liquid. σ= i N/m
