Question:

When a small tube is dipped into a pool of liquid, surface tension causes a meniscus to form at the free surface, which is elevated or depressed depending on the contact angle at the liquid–solid–gas interface. Experiments indicate that the magnitude of this capillary effect, Δh, is a function of the tube diameter, D, liquid specific weight, γ, and surface tension, σ. Determine the number of independent Π parameters that can be formed and obtain a set.
