Compare the height due to capillary action of water exposed to air in a circular tube of diameter D=5 0.5 mm, and between two infinite vertical parallel plates of gap a=  0.5 mm. 3.41 Two vertical glass plates 12 in.  are placed in an open tank containing water. At one end the gap between the plates is 0.004 in., and at the other it is 0.080 in. Plot the curve of water height between the plates from one end of the pair to the other.
