Correct Answer: Option D
Explanation:
The height of capillary rise is given by Jurin's law: h = 2Tcos(theta) / (rrhog). In a freely falling elevator, the effective acceleration due to gravity (g') is zero (weightlessness). As effective g approaches zero, the theoretical height h approaches infinity. In reality, the water will rise to the very top of the tube, regardless of its length, but will not overflow.
