ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
“It is not possible to prepare a Project Report without the assistance and encouragement of other people. This one is certainly no Exception”
I would like to take opportunity to express my humble gratitude to Prof. Manjula Srivastava for providing me an opportunity to learn and apply my skills in this Project. Her constant guidance and willingness to share her vast knowledge made me understand this Project and its phenomenon in great depths.
Without their active guidance, help, cooperation and encouragement, I would not have made headway in the project.
I extend my gratitude to Rani Laxmi Bai Memorial Senior Secondary School, C-Block, Lucknow for providing me with this opportunity.
I also acknowledge with a deep sense of reverence, my appreciation towards my parents, friends and well wishers who has always supported me morally as well as economically.
Although there may be many who remain unacknowledged in this humble
Introduction
Capillarity or Capillary action, phenomenon in which the surface of a liquid is observed to be elevated or depressed where it comes into contact with a solid.
Ability of a liquid to flow in narrow spaces without the assistance of, and in opposition to, external forces like gravity
Capillary action is sometimes called capillarity, capillary motion, or wicking
Capillarity Types:-
Capillarity Rise:- The upward movement of a liquid against the force of gravity inside narrow spaces and thin tubes is called capillary rise . This property of liquid is called capillarity. A common apparatus used to demonstrate capillarity is the capillary tube.
Reason:- Capillarity occurs because of intermolecular forces between the liquid and surrounding solid surface. And due to the
