AI Generated Solution

To find the maximum possible mass of a greased needle floating on the water surface, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Forces Acting on the Needle When a needle is floating on the water surface, it experiences two main forces: 1. The downward gravitational force (weight) acting on the needle, which is given by \( mg \) where \( m \) is the mass of the needle and \( g \) is the acceleration due to gravity. 2. The upward force due to surface tension, which acts along the length of the needle. ### Step 2: Analyze the Surface Tension Force ...
