Capillary rise = 4 * σ* cos(α)/wd.

Where "σ" sigma is surface tension =force/length.

Capillary rise is directly proportional to surface tension and also surface tension is directly proportional to force so the answer is A.

Surface tension depends upon the Cohesion.

And capillary rise depends upon both cohesion and adhesion.

Capiliarty is depending on surface tension force.

Surface tension depends on both adhesion & cohesion.

Capillary rise = 0.3/d

where d=size of particle, so it depends on d or not?

H = 4*S*cos theta/density*d*g.

Where S equal to surface tension force.

Smaller the saturation, greater is the soil suction.

Razor said:   9 years ago
The capillary rise also depends on the water content of soil. Smaller the water content smaller the soil suction.
