A glass tube of 2.5 mm diameter is first immersed in water and than in mercury. The surface tension, o = 0.0725 N/m for water and o = 0.52 N/m for mercury in contact with air. If the angle of contact for water is 0° and that for mercury is 135°, then the ratio of capillary rise in water to that in mercury will be
