1.105 A glass tube is inserted in mercury (Fig. 1-20); the common temperature is 20 C. What is the upward force on
the glass as a result of surface effects?

F = (a)(ndo)(cos 50) + (a)(ad,)(cos 50) = (0.514)[(x)(0.035)1(cos 50) + (0.514)[(x)(0.025)j(cos 50) =

In Fig. 1-21a estimate the depression h for mercury in the glass capillary tube. Angle 0 is 40.
/ Consider the meniscus of the mercury as a free body (see Fig. 1-21b) of negligible weight. Summing forces in
the vertical direction gives (a)(./rd)(cos (9) + (p)(zd2/4) = 0, (0.514)[(n)(0.002)](cos 40) + [(13.6)(9790)(h)]
[(m)(0.002)2/4] = 0, h = 0.00591 m, or 5.91 mm. Actual h must be larger because the weight of the meniscus was
neglected.

1.107 A narrow trough (Fig. 1-22) is filled with water at 20 C to the maximum extent. If the gage measures a gage
pressure of 2.8458 kPa, what is the radius of curvature of the water surface (away from the ends)?

p= alr=pgage yd = 2845.8 (9790)(0.290) = 6.70 Pa gage

6.70 = 0.0728/r

r= 0.01087m or 10.87 mm

1.108 Water at 10 C is poured into a region between concentric cylinders until water appears above the top of the
open end (see Fig. 1-23). If the pressure measured by a gage 42 cm below the open end is 4147.38 Pa gage, what
is the curvature of the water at the top?

p= alr=pgage yd = 4147.38 (9810)(0.42) = 27.18 Pa gage

27.18 = 0.0742/r

r = 0.00273 m or 2.73 mm
