Ans(D)
For air inside capillary, \(p_{0}(\ell A)=p^{\prime}(\ell-x)\) A where \(p^{\prime}\) is pressure in capillary after being submerged
\(\therefore \mathrm{p}^{\prime}=\frac{\mathrm{p}_{0} \ell}{\ell-\mathrm{x}}\)
Now since level of water inside capillary coincides with outside, \(\therefore \mathrm{p}^{\prime}-\mathrm{p}_{0}=\frac{2 \gamma}{\mathrm{r}}\)
\(\therefore \frac{p_{0} \ell}{\ell-x}-p_{0}=\frac{2 \gamma}{r} \Rightarrow x=\frac{\ell}{\left(1+\frac{p_{0} r}{2 \gamma}\right)}\)
