2A20.10capillary tubes2A20.10Two sets of capillary tubes, one filled with water and one filled with mercury.
2A20.10capillary tubesFi-8Sets of capillary tubes with water and mercury are compared.
2A20.10capillary tubesM-214Sets of capillary tubes of various diameters show capillary rise with water and capillary depression with mercury.
2A20.10capillary tubesM-22gTwo sets of capillary tubes.
2A20.10capillary tubesDisc 13-26Fill a set of capillary tubes with water.
2A20.11depression and rise in capillaryFi-11"U" tubes with a large and small bore arm are filled with water and mercury and compared.
2A20.12project capillary tubesM-22hAn optical setup to project capillary tubes.
2A20.20surface tension hyperbolaPIRA 1000
2A20.20surface tension hyperbolaFi-9A large meniscus forms between two sheets of glass held at an angle in a pan of water.
2A20.20capillary hyperbolaM-215Two glass plates are clamped on one edge and separated by a wire on the other.
2A20.21meniscus16-5.2Project the meniscus of water and mercury at the apex of wedge shaped containers.
2A20.30drops in tapered tubesM-216A drop on water in a tapered tube moves to the narrow end and a mercury drop moves away from the narrow end.
2A20.35capillary actionPIRA 1000
2A20.35capillary actionDisc 13-25Touch the end of a small glass surface with a small glass tube and the water is drawn into the tube.
2A20.40meniscusM-220Add 4-penny finishing nails to a full glass of water until it overflows.
2A20.45meniscusM-217Objects floating in a vessel cling to the edge until it is over full when they go to the middle.
2A20.50capillary phenomenaM-219Four 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.
