∣hHg∣=∣hwater∣
ρ1r1g2S1cosθ1=ρ2r2g2S2cosθ2
Therefore, the ratio of the radii of the respective tubes is,
r2r1=ρ1ρ2×S2cosθ2S1cosθ1
r2r1=13.61×7.5×21
r2r1≈52
The ratio of surface tensions of mercury and water is given to be 7.5, while the ratio of their densities is 13.6. Their contact angles, with glass, are close to 135∘ and 0∘, respectively. If it is observed that mercury gets depressed by an amount h in a capillary tube of radius r1, while water rises by the same amount h in a capillary tube of radius r2, then the ratio r2r1 is close to

Net gravitational force at the center of a square is found to be $F_{1}$ when four particles having mass $M, 2 M, 3 M$ and $4 M$ are placed at the four corners of the square as shown in figure and it is $F_{2}$ when the positions of $3 M$ and $4 M$ are interchanged. The ratio $\frac{F_{1}}{F_{2}}$ is $\frac{\alpha}{\sqrt{5}}$. The value of $\alpha$ is $\_\_\_\_$. 
A particle of mass 2 kg is projected vertically upward with a speed of 30 m/s. The maximum height reached by the particle is (g = 10 m/s²):
Two projectiles are projected with the same initial velocities at the $15^\circ$ and $30^\circ$ with respect to the horizontal. The ratio of their ranges is $1:x$. The value of $x$ is:
In an experiment the values of two spring constants were measured as $k_{1}=(10 \pm 0.2) \mathrm{N} / \mathrm{m}$ and $k_{2}=(20 \pm 0.3) \mathrm{N} / \mathrm{m}$. If these springs are connected in parallel, then the percentage error in equivalent spring constant is :
