Solution
Given:
Length of thread l = 5 cm = 5 × 10−2 m
Surface tension of water T = 0.76 N/m
We know that:
F = T × l = 0.76 × 5 × 10−2
= 3.8 × 10−3 N
Therefore, the water surface on one side of the thread pulls it with a force of 3.8 × 10−3 N.
Length of thread l = 5 cm = 5 × 10−2 m
Surface tension of water T = 0.76 N/m
We know that:
F = T × l = 0.76 × 5 × 10−2
= 3.8 × 10−3 N
Therefore, the water surface on one side of the thread pulls it with a force of 3.8 × 10−3 N.
