Question: Problem 1 : Pressure in a pipe is measured using the height of a water column in a glass tube. For a 3 mm diameter

Problem 1: Pressure in a pipe is measured using the height of a water column in a glass tube.
For a 3 mm diameter tube, how much of the water column height is due to surface tension?
How much of the height would be due to surface tension if the tube were 0.4 mm in diameter?
Assume water is perfectly wetting of the glass (wetting angle is zero degrees) and that the
surface tension is 0.075Nm.
