Capillary Rise when Contact is between Water and Glass Formula

Capillary Rise (or Depression) = (2*Surface Tension)/(Radius of Tube*Specific Weight of Water in KN per cubic meter*1000)
hc = (2*σ)/(rt*W*1000)

What is the main cause Capillarity?

Capillarity is the result of surface, or interfacial, forces. The rise of water in a thin tube inserted in water is caused by forces of attraction between the molecules of water and the glass walls and among the molecules of water themselves. The narrower the bore of the capillary tube, the higher the water rises.
