I. Let us now see if van Bemmelen s curves can be accounted for on the basis of the laws of capillarity. In order to understand this better it is perhaps necessary to recall some of the theory of capillarity. Assume a liquid touching a capillary tube forms a meniscus concave upwards, as represented in Fig. 24. Because of the surface tension on the liquid it rises in the capillary. The pressure upward, B.
