A glass capillary tube is of the shape of a truncated cone with an apex angle `alpha` so that its two ends have cross sections of different radii. When dipped in water vertically, water rises in it to a high h, where the radius of its cross section is b. If the surface tension of water is S, its density if `rho`, and its contact angle with glass is `theta`, the value of h will be (g is the acceleration due to gravity)

In `DeltaPCM cos (theta-alpha/2)=b/R` …(i)
Also `(P_0-(2S)/(R))+hrhog=P_0`
`h=(2S)/(Rrhog)=(2S)/(brhog)cos(theta+alpha//2)`
