When a cylindrical capillary glass tube, open at both ends, is vertically inserted in a pool of water, the water level in the tube rises to 7 cm7\text{ cm} relative to the water level outside the tube. Consider that the surface tension of water is 0.07 N m10.07\text{ N m}^{-1} and that the contact angle of water on glass is 00^\circ. The density of water is 1000 kg m31000\text{ kg m}^{-3}, and the local acceleration due to gravity is 10 m s210\text{ m s}^{-2}. The diameter of the capillary tube (in μm\mu\text{m}) is __________ (rounded off to the nearest integer).
