21. (A)(i) A capillary tube of diameter 2.5x10-3m is dipped in water. The surface tension at the
contact surface is 73.5x10-3N/m. If the angle of contact is 250, determine the capillary rise.

pressure head in terms of water ? What is the corresponding pressure head in terms of
kerosene of specific gravity 0.8.
OR
(B)(i) To measure the pressure at a point in a pipe line carrying water, a sensitive manometer

pressure on one side of the plate and (2) Depth of centre of pressure.
