Suppose you have taken a dilute solution of oleic acid in such a way that its concentration becomes 0.01 cm3 of oleic acid per cm3 of the solution. Then you make a thin film of this solution (monomolecular thickness) of area 4 cm2 by considering 100 spherical drops of radius 340π13×10-3 cm. Then the thickness of oleic acid layer will be x×10-14 m. Where x is ________ .

A glass capillary tube is of the shape of a truncated cone with an apex angle α so that its two ends have cross-sections of different radii. When dipped in water vertically, the water rises in it to a height h, where the radius of its cross-section is b. If the surface tension of water is S, its density is ρ, and its contact angle with glass is θ, then the value of h will be (g is the acceleration due to gravity)

If two glass plates have water between them and are separated by very small distance (see figure), it is very difficult to pull them apart. It is because the water in between forms cylindrical surface on the side that gives rise to lower pressure in the water in comparison to atmosphere. If the radius of the cylindrical surface is R and surface tension of water is T then the pressure in water between the plates is lower by:
