$A$ ring is cut from a platinum tube with an internal diameter of $8.5\, cm$ and an external diameter of $8.7\, cm$. It is supported horizontally from the pan of a balance so that it comes in contact with the water in a glass vessel. If an extra $3.97\, g$ weight is required to pull it away from the water,the surface tension of water is ......... $dyne\, cm^{-1}$.

  • A
    $72$
  • B
    $70.80$
  • C
    $63.35$
  • D
    $60$
