A liquid drop of volume \(V\) is placed on the surface of glass plate. Then another glass plate is placed on it such that liquid forms a thin layer of area A between the surfaces of two plates. To separate the plates a force \(F\) has to be applied normal to the surfaces. The surface tension of the liquid is

  1. A \(\frac{\mathrm{FV}}{2 \mathrm{~A}}\)
  2. B \(\frac{F V}{2 A^2}\)
  3. C \(\frac{F V}{A^2}\)
  4. D \(\frac{F}{V A}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{F V}{2 A^2}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(F = \frac{2TA}{d}\) \(d = \frac{V}{A}\)
