A water drop of radius ' r ' and volume ' V ' is kept in between the two identical glass plates such that it forms a thin layer of area ' A ' between the plates. A force ' F ' is applied such that the two plates separate from each other. The surface tension ' T ' of the liquid is
Options
- AF V 2 A^2
- BA ^2 FV
- CAV F ^2
- DFV 4 ~A ^2
Correct answer
A. F V 2 A^2
Step-by-step solution
Consider complete wetting. The Laplace pressure jump is given by: On plugging into equation (1), T ( V 2 ~A ) = F A T = FV 2 ~A ^2
