    The material of a wire has a density of 1.4 g/\[c{{m}^{3}}\]. If it is not wetted by a liquid of surface tension 44 dyne/cm, then the maximum radius of the wire which can float on the surface of liquid is

    A)  \[\frac{10}{28}\]cm

    B)  \[\frac{10}{14}\]cm

    C)  \[\frac{10}{7}\]mm

    D)  0.7 cm

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    \[2Tl=\pi {{r}^{2}}ld\times g\]                 \[r=\sqrt{\left( \frac{2\,T}{\pi dg} \right)}=\sqrt{\frac{2\times 44\times 7}{22\times 1.4\times 980}}\] \[=\frac{1}{7}cm=\frac{10}{7}\,mm\]
