A thread is tied slightly loose to a wire frame as shown in figure and the frame is dipped into a soap solution and taken out. The frame is completely covered with the film. When the portion A is punctured with a pin, the thread
Options
- Abecomes concave towards A
- Bbecomes convex towards 5 A
- CEither (a) or (b) depending on the size of A with respect to B
- Dremains in the initial position
Correct answer
A. becomes concave towards A
Step-by-step solution
When portion A is punctured, the soap solution comes out of the hole. So, due to surface tension, the solution in part B tries to pull it toward itself. Thus, the thread becomes concave towards A .
