10.29 Mercury has an angle of contact equal to 140° with soda lime glass. A narrow tube of radius 1.00 mm made of this glass is dipped in a trough containing mercury. By what amount does the mercury dip down in the tube relative to the liquid surface outside? Surface tension of mercury at the temperature of the experiment is 0.465 N m^–1. Density of mercury = 13.6 * 10³ kg m^–3.

Surface tension is the force acting on the surface of the liquid.

Bernoulli's principle states that in a steady flow, the sum of pressure, kinetic energy per unit volume, and potential energy per unit volume remains constant.

Yes, the Mechanical properties of fluids class 11th physics is important in NEET. On average, 1-2 questions would be asked from this chapter, which you can cover from the Class 11th Mechanical Properties of Fluids notes.

The main mechanical properties of fluids are exerting pressure, resisting flow or viscosity, forming surface tension, following Bernoulli's principle, and moving in a streamline.

Since velocity does not change, so acceleration will be zero.

mg = FB + Fv $\Rightarrow \frac{4\pi }{3}{r}^3\rho g=\frac{4\pi }{3}{r}^3\sigma g+6\pi \eta rv$

$\Rightarrow v=\frac{2r^2\left(\rho -\sigma \right)g}{9\eta }=\frac{2\times 0.1\times 0.1\times 10^{-6}\times \left(10^4-10^3\right)\times 10}{9\times 1.0\times 10^{-5}}$

$\Rightarrow h=\frac{400}{2g}=20m$
