A U-shaped wire is dipped in a soap solution, and removed. The thin soap film formed between the wire and the light slider supports a weight of 1.5 × 10–2 N (which includes the small weight of the slider). The length of the slider is 30 cm. What is the surface tension of the film ?

##### Solution :-

The maximum weight the film can support, W = 1.5 × 10-2 N

Length of the slider, l = 30 cm = 0.3 m

Total length of liquid film, l = 2 x 30 cm = 60 cm = 0.6 m because the liquid film has two surfaces.

Surface tension,

T = $$\dfrac{F}{I}$$ =1.5 x 10-2 N/0.6m

=2.5 x 10-2 Nm-1

#### According to the law of atmospheres density of air decreases with increase in height y

Answer the following questions:-

(a) According to the law of atmospheres density of air decreases with increase in height y as $$ρ=\rho _{0}e^{\dfrac{-y}{y_{0}}}$$. Where ρ0 =1.25 kg m-3 is the density of air at sea level and yis a constant. Derive this equation/law considering that the atmosphere and acceleration due to gravity remain constant.

(b) A zeppelin of volume 1500 m3 is filled with helium and it is lifting a mass of 400 kg. Assuming that the radius of the zeppelin remains constant as it ascends. How high will it rise?[ y0 = 8000 m and ρHe =0.18 kg m-3].

Two narrow bores of diameters 3.0 mm and 6.0 mm are joined together to form a U-tube open at both ends. If the U-tube contains water, what is the difference in its levels in the two limbs of the tube? Surface tension of water at the temperature of the experiment is 7.3 × 10–2 N m–1. Take the angle of contact to be zero and density of water to be 1.0 × 103 kg m–3 (g = 9.8 m s–2).

Mercury has an angle of contact equal to 140° with soda lime glass. A narrow tube of radius 1.00 mm made of this glass is dipped in a trough containing mercury. By what amount does the mercury dip down in the tube relative to the liquid surface outside ? Surface tension of mercury at the temperature of the experiment is 0.465 N m–1. Density of mercury = 13.6 × 103 kg m–3

In Millikan’s oil drop experiment, what is the terminal speed of an uncharged drop of radius $$2.0 × 10^{–5} m$$ and density $$1.2 × 10^3 kg m^{–3}$$.

A plane is in level flight at constant speed and each of its wings has an area of $$25 m^2$$. If the speed of the air is 180 km/h over the lower wing and 234 km/h over the upper wing surface, determine the plane’s mass. (Take air density to be $$1 kg/m^3$$), g = $$9.8 m/s^2$$
