4. \(2.4\times 10^{5}~\text{N}, ~\text{downwards}\)
Water rises to a height h in capillary tube . If the length of capillary tube above the surface of water is made less than h, then
(1) water rises upto the tip of capillary tube and then starts overflowing like a fountain
(2) water rises upto the top of capillary tube and stays there without overflowing
(3) water rises upto a point a little below the top and stays there
(4) water does not rise at all
