A square wire frame of size L is dipped in a liquid. On taking out a membrane is formed. If the surface tension of liquid is T , then force acting on a frame will be
Options
- A2TL
- B4TL
- C8TL
- D16TL
Correct answer
C. 8TL
Step-by-step solution
Since, the wire frame is dipped in liquid, therefore its membrane has two free surfaces. Total length of square wire frame in contact of membrane =2 perimeter of square =2 4 L=8 L Hence, force acting on a frame F=T l=T 8 L=8 T L
