    A thin liquid film formed between a U-shaped wire and a light slider supports a weight of \[1.5\times {{10}^{-2}}\,N\](see figure). The length of the slider is 30 cm and its weight negligible. The surface tension of the liquid film is

    A) \[0.0125\,\,N{{m}^{-1}}\]

    B)        \[0.1\,\,N{{m}^{-1}}\]

    C) \[0.05\,\,N{{m}^{-1}}\]

    D)        \[0.025\,\,N{{m}^{-1}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    [d] At equilibrium, weight of the given block is balanced by force due to surface tension, i.e., \[2L.\,S=W\] or \[S=\frac{W}{2L}=\frac{1.5\times {{10}^{-2}}N}{2\times 0.3\,m}=0.025N{{m}^{-1}}\]
