Question:

By measuring the capillary rise in a tube, one can calculate the surface tension. The surface tension of water varies linearly with temperature from 0.0756 N/m at 0°C to 0.0589 N/m at 100°C. Size a tube (specify diameter and length) that uses capillary rise of water to measure temperature in the range from 0°C to 100°C. Is this design for a thermometer a good idea?
