Given,

Surface tension= 0.07Nm-1

We know that,

T=FL

F=TL

L=2πr

Because it is a ring with two circumferences that are in touch with the liquid and a circumference that is equal to the length of the wire, surface tension force works along the circumference.

F=(2T)L 

F=(2T)(2πr);   F=2×0.07×20×10-2

F=28×10-3N

F=0.028N
