By measuring the capillary rise in a tube, one can calculate the surface tension. The surface tension
Question:
By measuring the capillary rise in a tube, one can calculate the surface tension. The surface tension of water varies linearly with temperature from 0.0756 N/m at 0°C to 0.0589 N/m at 100°C. Size a tube (specify diameter and length) that uses capillary rise of water to measure temperature in the range from 0°C to 100°C. Is this design for a thermometer a good idea?

The property of the surface of a liquid that allows it to resist an external force, due to the cohesive nature of its molecules. The cohesive forces between liquid molecules are responsible for the phenomenon known as surface tension. The molecules at the surface of a glass of water do not have other water molecules on all sides of them and consequently, they cohere more strongly to those directly associated with them (in this case, next to and below them, but not above). is not really true that a \\\"skin\\\" forms on the water surface; the stronger cohesion between the water molecules as opposed to the attraction of the water molecules to the air makes it more difficult to move an object through the surface than to move it when it is completely submersed
