The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of calculating the force required to separate two glass plates with a film of water between them, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Problem We have two glass plates with an area \( A = 10^{-2} \, m^2 \) and a water film of thickness \( t = 0.05 \, mm \) (which is \( 0.05 \times 10^{-3} \, m \)). The surface tension of water is given as \( \gamma = 70 \times 10^{-3} \, N/m \). ### Step 2: Identify the Pressure Difference The pressure difference \( \Delta P \) between the outside atmospheric pressure \( P_A \) and the pressure inside the water film \( P_B \) can be expressed using the formula: \[ \Delta P = P_A - P_B = \frac{2\gamma}{r} \] where \( r \) is the radius of curvature of the water film. ### Step 3: Determine the Radius of Curvature For a thin film of thickness \( t \), the radius of curvature \( r \) can be approximated as: \[ r = \frac{t}{2} \] Thus, substituting for \( r \): \[ \Delta P = \frac{2\gamma}{\frac{t}{2}} = \frac{4\gamma}{t} \] ### Step 4: Calculate the Force The force \( F \) required to separate the plates can be calculated using the pressure difference and the area: \[ F = \Delta P \cdot A = \left(\frac{4\gamma}{t}\right) \cdot A \] ### Step 5: Substitute the Values Now substituting the known values: - \( \gamma = 70 \times 10^{-3} \, N/m \) - \( A = 10^{-2} \, m^2 \) - \( t = 0.05 \, mm = 0.05 \times 10^{-3} \, m \) The force becomes: \[ F = \frac{4 \times (70 \times 10^{-3})}{0.05 \times 10^{-3}} \cdot (10^{-2}) \] ### Step 6: Calculate the Numerical Value Calculating the above expression: \[ F = \frac{4 \times 70 \times 10^{-3}}{0.05 \times 10^{-3}} \cdot (10^{-2}) = \frac{280 \times 10^{-3}}{0.05 \times 10^{-3}} \cdot (10^{-2}) = \frac{280}{0.05} \cdot (10^{-2}) \] \[ F = 5600 \cdot (10^{-2}) = 56 \, N \] ### Final Answer The force required to separate the glass plates is \( F = 56 \, N \). ---
