The ratio of surface tensions of mercury and water is given to be 7.57.57.5, while the ratio of their densities is 13.613.613.6. Their contact angles, with glass, are close to 135∘135^{\circ}135∘ and 0∘0^{\circ}0∘, respectively. If it is observed that mercury gets depressed by an amount hhh in a capillary tube of radius r1{r}_{1}r1​, while water rises by the same amount hhh in a capillary tube of radius r2{r}_{2}r2​, then the ratio r1r2\frac{{r}_{1}}{{r}_{2}}r2​r1​​ is close to

When a part of a straight capillary tube is placed vertically in a liquid, the liquid raises upto certain height $h$. If the inner radius of the capillary tube, density of the liquid and surface tension of the liquid decrease by $1 \%$ each, then the height of the liquid in the tube will change by $\%$.
