$A$ pin or a needle floats on the surface of water,the reason for this is:

Give two practical illustrations of surface tension.

$A$ thread is tied slightly loose to a wire frame as shown in the figure. The frame is dipped into a soap solution and taken out,such that the frame is completely covered with a soap film. When the portion $A$ is punctured with a pin,the thread:

$A$ metal sheet $4 \ m$ on a side and of negligible thickness is attached to a balance and inserted into a container of fluid. The balance to which the metal sheet is attached reads $0.50 \ N$ and the contact angle is found to be $0^{\circ}$. $A$ small amount of oil is then spread over the metal sheet. The contact angle now becomes $180^{\circ}$ and the balance now reads $0.49 \ N$. The surface tension of the fluid is:

When there is no external force,the shape of a liquid drop is determined by

$A$ drop of some liquid of volume $0.04 \ cm^{3}$ is placed on the surface of a glass slide. Then another glass slide is placed on it in such a way that the liquid forms a thin layer of area $20 \ cm^{2}$ between the surfaces of the two slides. To separate the slides a force of $16 \times 10^{5} \ dyne$ has to be applied normal to the surfaces. The surface tension of the liquid is (in $dyne \ cm^{-1}$):
