which consists mainly of water in summer
The sap in trees, which consists mainly of water in summer, rises in a system of capillaries of radius r=2.5×10^−5 m. The surface tension of sap is S=7.28×10^−3 Nm^−1 and the angle of contact is 0^∘. Does surface tension alone account for the supply of water to the top of all tress ?
