What factors affecting the height of water in a thin tube?
What about adhesion?
Adhesion is the attraction between the molecules of the liquid and the molecules of the tube's material. When water is in contact with the tube's walls, the molecules of water are attracted to the tube's surface, creating a convex meniscus. This effect can increase the height of the water in the tube, depending on the material of the tube.
