Γ=72.7mN/m, contact angle between water and polyester is 72.5 degree (cos72.5=0.3), g=9.8m/s^2, density of water is 1g/ml,

  1. Please calculate h(height by capillary effect) for two cases below.
  2. If the material is cellulose (contact angle is 10 degree, cos10=0.98), then how about h for two cases below?
