Surface tension and surface energy
Question

A straw 6 cm long floats on water. The water film on one side has surface tension of 50 dyne/cm. On the other side, camphor reduces the surface tension to 40 dyne/cm. The resultant force acting on the straw is

Moderate
Solution

F=σ1σ2l=(50×640×6)=60dyne
