2A20.00 | Capillary Action | | |
2A20.10 | capillary tubes | PIRA 500 | |
2A20.10 | capillary tubes | 2A20.10 | Two sets of capillary tubes, one filled with water and one filled with mercury. |
2A20.10 | capillary tubes | Fi-8 | Sets of capillary tubes with water and mercury are compared. |
2A20.10 | capillary tubes | M-214 | Sets of capillary tubes of various diameters show capillary rise with water and capillary depression with mercury. |
2A20.10 | capillary tubes | M-22g | Two sets of capillary tubes. |
2A20.10 | capillary tubes | Disc 13-26 | Fill a set of capillary tubes with water. |
2A20.11 | depression and rise in capillary | Fi-11 | "U" tubes with a large and small bore arm are filled with water and mercury and compared. |
2A20.12 | project capillary tubes | M-22h | An optical setup to project capillary tubes. |
2A20.20 | surface tension hyperbola | PIRA 1000 | |
2A20.20 | surface tension hyperbola | Fi-9 | A large meniscus forms between two sheets of glass held at an angle in a pan of water. |
2A20.20 | capillary hyperbola | M-215 | Two glass plates are clamped on one edge and separated by a wire on the other. |
2A20.21 | meniscus | 16-5.2 | Project the meniscus of water and mercury at the apex of wedge shaped containers. |
2A20.30 | drops in tapered tubes | M-216 | A drop on water in a tapered tube moves to the narrow end and a mercury drop moves away from the narrow end. |
2A20.35 | capillary action | PIRA 1000 | |
2A20.35 | capillary action | Disc 13-25 | Touch the end of a small glass surface with a small glass tube and the water is drawn into the tube. |
2A20.40 | meniscus | M-220 | Add 4-penny finishing nails to a full glass of water until it overflows. |
2A20.45 | meniscus | M-217 | Objects floating in a vessel cling to the edge until it is over full when they go to the middle. |
2A20.50 | capillary phenomena | M-219 | Four items: dip your finger in water covered with lycopodium powder, a wet paintbrush in and out of water, pour water down a wet string, pour water in a flexible paper box. |
