Vertical Capillary rise will be constant l cos60=h1 l=2×3cm=6cm

Vertical height of the liquid column h(=3cm) in inclined capillary tube will be the same as that in the vertical capillary tube when immersed in a liquid. If l is the length of liquid column along the tube in the inclined tube, then cosθ=h/l or l=h/cosθ =3/cosθ60∘ =6cm.
