Two pieces of glass plates placed one upon the other with a little water in between them cannot be separated easily because of:

It is easy to wash clothes in hot water because its

$A$ straw of circular cross-section of radius $R$ and negligible thickness is dipped vertically into a liquid of surface tension $T$. If the contact angle between the liquid and the straw material is $53^{\circ}$, what is the force acting on the straw due to the surface tension of the liquid? (Given: $\cos 53^{\circ} = 0.6$)

$A$ soap film of surface tension $3 \times 10^{-2} \, N/m$ is formed in a rectangular frame and can support a straw. The length of the film is $10 \, cm$. The mass of the straw the film can support is ........ $g$.

$A$ small spherical droplet of density $d$ is floating exactly half immersed in a liquid of density $\rho$ and surface tension $T$. The radius of the droplet is (take note that the surface tension applies an upward force on the droplet).

$A$ wooden stick $2 \, m$ long is floating on the surface of water. The surface tension of water is $0.07 \, N/m$. By putting soap solution on one side of the stick,the surface tension is reduced to $0.06 \, N/m$. The net force on the stick will be ....... $N$.
