The angle of contact between a glass capillary tube of length 10 cm and a liquid is 90°. If the capillary tube is dipped vertically in the liquid, then the liquid (a) Will rise in the tube (b) Will get depressed in the tube (c) Will rise up to 10 cm in the tube and will over flow (d) Will neither rise nor fall in the tube
