These two causes undoubtedly exert a disturbing influence on thelaw of Jurin. The law of Jurin may be illustrated and verified for glass capillarytubes… … Fig. 114 the weight in grammes of a length / centimetres of mercury whose specificgravity at the temperature of the experiment is D, P=7rr-/D, whence r isdetermined in centimetres. The height to which the liquid rises in the capillary tube is read off by thecathetometer (87). The capillary tube is…
