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

    The strip of paper towel was put into a beaker of water, and the distance the water climbed in measurement increments of 5 minutes. At minute 5, the water had climbed approximately 3 inches from the waterline. By minute 20, the water had climbed up to approximately 3.5 inches from the waterline. This is occurring due to capillary action, and the adhesion of water. Capillary action is what allows water to move against the pull of gravity. The action itself is when water molecules at the bottom of, for example, a paper towel strip push up and in turn push the molecules higher than the molecules at the bottom even farther up the paper towel strip. Adhesion is the force of attraction between polar molecules and water…

    1. Surface tension - A property of the surface of a liquid. It is what causes the surface portion of liquid to be attracted to another surface, such as that of another portion of liquid. Surface tension is caused by cohesion (the attraction of molecules to like molecules). Since the molecules on the surface of the liquid are not surrounded by like molecules on all sides, they are more attracted to their neighbours on the surface.…

The more viscous a fluid is the slower a solid will fall through it. “Density is defined as the distribution of quantity per unit usually of space.” Viscosity and density are independent of each other. However, in this experiment the densities are needed in order to determine each…

    A liquid has a definite olume but no shape of its own. It will take the shape of its container. A liquid can be expanded or compressed slightly. The focus of attraction between the particles of a liquid are fairly weak in comparison. As a result, although the particles are intact they can easily slide past each other. Futhermore, the particles are randomly arranged with small spaces between them. The particles of a liquid move slower than those of a gas but faster than those of a solid.…
