There is a uniform rectangular wire frame having a thin film of soap solution. A massless thin wire of radius and area of cross section is placed on the surface of film, and inside portion of the film is pricked. If surface tension of soap solution is and Young's modulus of wire is then change in radius of the wire is:




Important Questions on Viscosity and Surface Tension
A capillary, of the shape as shown, is dipped in a liquid. The contact angle between the liquid and the capillary is and the effect of liquid inside the meniscus is to be neglected. is the surface tension of the liquid, is the radius of the meniscus, is the acceleration due to gravity and is the density of the liquid. Then height in equilibrium is

Two different vertical positions & of a capillary tube are shown in figure with the lower end inside water. For position , contact angle is rad & water rises to height above the surface of water while for position height of the tube outside water is kept insufficient & equal to ,then contact angle in radian becomes:

A water jet of radius is shown in the figure. The force between the part and part at the section due to the surface tension is : (Assume that, is surface tension)

A wire is bend at an angle . A rod of mass can slide along the bended wire without friction as shown in figure. If a soap film is maintained in the frame and frame is kept in a vertical position and rod is in equilibrium. If rod is displaced slightly in vertical direction. The time period of small oscillation is sec. where and are constant number then is


Consider a -shaped frame with a sliding wire of length and mass on its arm. It is dipped in a soap solution that taken out and placed in vertical position as shown in the figure. Choose a minimum value of , so that the wire does not descend (surface tension of soap solution is ):


An oil drop falls through the air with a terminal velocity of . The radius of the drop will be: .,
Neglect the density of air as compared to oil.
