Two glass plates of area $10^{-2} \,m^2$ have a $10 \,cm$ thick water film between them. The surface tension of water is $70 \times 10^{-3} \,N/m$. The force required to separate the two glass plates from each other is (in $\,N$)

What tendency do molecules on the surface of a liquid possess?

Describe a simple experiment for the measurement of the surface tension of a liquid.

$A$ square frame of each side $L$ is dipped in a soap solution and taken out. The force acting on the film formed is ($T =$ surface tension of soap solution). (in $TL$)

The maximum force,in addition to the weight,required to pull a wire of $5.0 \, cm$ long from the surface of water at a temperature of $20^\circ C$ is $728 \, dynes$. The surface tension of water is:

When liquid medicine of density $\rho$ is to be put in the eye, it is done with the help of a dropper. As the bulb on the top of the dropper is pressed, a drop forms at the opening of the dropper. We wish to estimate the size of the drop. We first assume that the drop formed at the opening is spherical because that requires a minimum increase in its surface energy. To determine the size, we calculate the net vertical force due to the surface tension $T$ when the radius of the drop is $R$. When the force becomes smaller than the weight of the drop, the drop gets detached from the dropper.
$1.$ If the radius of the opening of the dropper is $r$, the vertical force due to the surface tension on the drop of radius $R$ (assuming $r \ll R$) is
$(A)$ $2 \pi r T$ $(B)$ $2 \pi R T$ $(C)$ $\frac{2 \pi r^2 T}{R}$ $(D)$ $\frac{2 \pi R^2 T}{r}$
$2.$ If $r=5 \times 10^{-4} \, m, \rho=10^3 \, kg \, m^{-3}, g=10 \, m/s^2, T=0.11 \, Nm^{-1}$, the radius of the drop when it detaches from the dropper is approximately
$(A)$ $1.4 \times 10^{-3} \, m$ $(B)$ $3.3 \times 10^{-3} \, m$
$(C)$ $2.0 \times 10^{-3} \, m$ $(D)$ $4.1 \times 10^{-3} \, m$
$3.$ After the drop detaches, its surface energy is
$(A)$ $1.4 \times 10^{-6} \, J$ $(B)$ $2.7 \times 10^{-6} \, J$
$(C)$ $5.4 \times 10^{-6} \, J$ $(D)$ $8.1 \times 10^{-6} \, J$
Give the answer for questions $1, 2$ and $3.$
