A capillary tube is immersed vertically in water and the height of the water column is $\displaystyle x$. When this arrangement is taken into a mine of depth d , the height of the water column is $\displaystyle y$. If R is the radius of earth, the ratio $\displaystyle \frac{x}{y}$ is :
Official answer
(1)
$\displaystyle \left(1-\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{R}}\right)$
