A cube with mass `m` completely wettable by water floats on the surface of water each side of the cube is `a` what is the distance `h` between the lower face of cube and the surface of the water if surafce tension is S. Take densities of water as `rho_(w)` take angle of contact is zero.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
`h=(mg+4Sa)/(rho_(w)a^(2)g)`
