Water is kept in a beaker of radius 5.0 ...

Water is kept in a beaker of radius 5.0 cm. Consider a diameter of the beaker on the surface of the water. Find the fore by which the surface on one side of the diameter pulls the surface on the other side. Surface tension of water `=0.075Nm^-1`.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The length of the diameter is
`l=2r=10cm`
`=0.1m`
`The surface tension is S=F/l.` Thus,
`=F=Sl`
`=(0.075Nm^-1)xx(0.1m)=7.5xx10^-3N`.
