Surface tension
Question

An annular disc of radius r1 = 10 cm and r2 = 5 cm is placed on a water surface. Find the surface tension force on the disc if we want to pull it from water surface. Take surface tension σ = 7×10-3 N/m, g=10 m/s2 

Moderate
Solution

F = 2πr1T + F = 2πr2T

    = 2π(r1+r2)T

    = 2×3.14(10+5)(72) = 6782.4 dyne
