A tube, similar to that shown in Fig. 6.12, has a 0.0025-mm inside diameter and is open at both ends. The tube is held vertically and water is added to the top end. What is the maximum height h of the column of water that will be supported? [Hint: A meniscus will form at the top and at the bottom of the column of water, as shown in Fig. P6.4.] (After Casagrande, 1938)?
