    The length of a needle floating on water is 2.5 cm. Calculate the added force (due to surface tension) required to pull the needle out of water.  (Surface  tension of water \[=7.2\times {{10}^{-2}}N/{{m}^{2}}\])

    A) \[3.6\times {{10}^{-3}}N\]                           

    B)  \[3.4\times {{10}^{-10}}N\]

    C) \[3.0\times {{10}^{-5}}N\]                           

    D)  \[3.8\times {{10}^{-11}}N\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                     The force of surface tension \[F=T-2l\]                 \[=7.2\times {{10}^{-2}}\times 2\times 2.5\times {{10}^{-2}}\]                 \[=3.6\times {{10}^{-3}}N\]
