A small piece of wire of length 4 cm is floating on the surface of water. If a force of 560 dynes in excess of itss apparent weight is requried to pull it up from the surface find the surface tension of water. |

Answer» Length of wire `l=4cm` contact length of solid with liquid surface `L=2l=8cm`. Surface tension `T=(F)/(L)impliesT=(560)/(8)=70"dyne"//cm` `T_("water")=70"dyne" cm^(-1)=0.07Nm^(-1)` |
