Consider a bowl filled with water on which some black pepper powder has been sprinkled uniformly. Now,a drop of liquid soap is added at the centre of the surface of water. The picture of the surface immediately after this will look like:

Small liquid drops assume a spherical shape because

Why is the surface tension of antiseptics kept low? Explain.

$A$ 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 ......... $dyne\, cm^{-1}$.

$A$ disc of paper of radius $R$ has a hole of radius $r$. It is floating on a liquid of surface tension $T$. The force of surface tension on the disc is

If the work done in increasing the size of a soap film from $10\, cm \times 6\, cm$ to $60\, cm \times 11\, cm$ is $2 \times 10^{-4}\, J$,what is the surface tension?
