A wire of length \(10 \mathrm{~cm}\) is gently placed horizontally on the surface of water having surface tension of \(75 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~N} / \mathrm{m}\). What force is required to just pull up the wire from the water surface?

  1. A \(15 \times 10^{-2} \mathrm{~N}\)
  2. B \(7 \cdot 5 \times 10^{-2} \mathrm{~N}\)
  3. C \(1 \cdot 5 \times 10^{-2} \mathrm{~N}\)
  4. D \(75 \times 10^{-2} \mathrm{~N}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(1 \cdot 5 \times 10^{-2} \mathrm{~N}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(F=2(T L)=2 \times 75 \times 10^{-3} \times 10 \times 10^{-2}\)
\(=150 \times 10^{-4}=1.5 \times 10^{-2} \mathrm{~N}\)
