A thin liquid film formed between a U-shaped wire and a light slider supports a weight of . The length of the slider is and its weight is negligible. The surface tension of the liquid film is:

- A0.0125 , \text{Nm}^{-1}
- B0.1 , \text{Nm}^{-1}
- C0.05 , \text{Nm}^{-1}
- D0.025 , \text{Nm}^{-1}
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

A liquid film has two surfaces. The upward force due to surface tension is: where is surface tension and is length.This force balances the weight : .
