Abstract:A glass tube of 0.0736‐inch or approximately two‐mm bore was placed in a nearly horizontal position with one end slightly bent and immersed in a glass jar filled with water, as shown on Figure 1. For a given inclination of the tube the water flowed up the tube to such a distance from the outlet that the height of the capillary meniscus in the tube above the water‐level in the jar was equal to the vertical height of capillary rise, in accordance with JURIN'S law.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
