24 If two glass plates have water between them and are separated by very small distance (See kg), it is very difkcult to pull them apart. It
is because the water in between forms cylindrical surface on the side that give rise to lower pressure in the water in comparison to
atmosphere. If the radius of the cylindrical surface is R and surface tension of water is T then the pressure in water between the plates is

25 This question has statement 1 and statement 2. OF the four choices given after the statements, choose the one that best describes
the two statements.
Statement 1: A capillary is dipped in a liquid and liquid rises to a height h in it. As the temperature of the liquid is raised, the height h
increases (if the density of the liquid raised and angle of contact remain the same).
Statement 2: Surface tension of a liquid decreases with the rise in its temperature.
Statement 1 is true, statement 2 is true; statement 2 is not the correct explanation for statement 1.
Statement 1 is false, statement 2 is true
Statement 1 is true, statement 2 is false
Statement 1 is true, statement 2 is true; statement 2 is the correct explanation for statement 1.
