The force required to take away a flat circular plate of radius 2 $\mathrm{cm}$ from the surface of water is $\left[\right.$ Surface tension of water $\left.=70 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{Nm}^{-1}, \pi=\frac{22}{7}\right]$
  1. $4.4 \times 10^{-4} \mathrm{~N}$
  2. $8.8 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~N}$
  3. $6.6 \times 10^{-4} \mathrm{~N}$
  4. $11 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~N}$

Solution

The force required to take away circular plate due to surface tension $\begin{aligned} & F=2 \pi r \mathrm{~T} \\ & =2 \times \frac{22}{7} \times 2 \times 10^{-2} \times 70 \times 10^{-3} \\ & =8.8 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~N} \end{aligned}$ /
