When water is filled carefully in a glass, one can fill it to a height above the rim of the glass due to the surface tension of water. To calculate just before water starts flowing, model the shape of the water above the rim as a disc of thickness having semicircular edges, as shown schematically in the figure. When the pressure of water at the bottom of this disc exceeds what can be withstood due to the surface tension, the water surface breaks near the rim and water starts flowing from there. If the density of water, its surface tension and the acceleration due to gravity are and respectively, the value of (in )is ________.

- A 3.741
- B 3.561
- C 3.214
- D 3.154
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) 3.741
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation

Pressure at the bottom of disc \(=\) pressure due to surface tension
\(\begin{aligned}
&\rho g h=T\left(\frac{1}{\mathrm{R}_1}+\frac{1}{\mathrm{R}_2}\right) \\
&\mathrm{R}_1 \gg>\mathrm{R}_2 \\
&\text { So } \frac{1}{\mathrm{R}_1} \ll<\frac{1}{\mathrm{R}_2} \text { and } \mathrm{R}_2=\mathrm{h} / 2 \\
&\therefore \rho \mathrm{gh}=\mathrm{T}\left[\frac{1}{\mathrm{R}_1}+\frac{1}{\mathrm{R}_2}\right]=\mathrm{T}\left[0+\frac{1}{\mathrm{~h} / 2}\right] \\
&\mathrm{h}^2=\frac{2 \mathrm{~T}}{\rho \mathrm{g}} \\
&\mathrm{h}=\sqrt{\frac{2 \mathrm{~T}}{\rho \mathrm{g}}}=\sqrt{\frac{2 \times 0.07}{10^3 \times 10}}=\sqrt{\frac{14 \times 100}{10^4 \times 100}} \\
&\mathrm{~h}=\sqrt{14} \mathrm{~mm}=3.741

One twirls a circular ring (of mass \(M\) and radius \(R\) ) near the tip of one's finger as shown in Figure 1 . In the process the finger never loses contact with the inner rim of the ring. The finger traces out the surface of a cone, shown by the dotted line. The radius of the path traced out by the point where the ring and the finger is in contact is \(r\). The finger rotates with an angular velocity \(\omega_{0}\).
