    Water rises to a height h in a capillary on the surface of the earth in stationary condition. Value of h increases, if this tube is taken

    A)  on poles

    B)  on sun

    C)  in a lift going upward with acceleration

    D)  in a Sift going downward with acceleration

    Correct Answer: D
