Q 10.18 Figure (a) shows a thin liquid film supporting a small weight = 4.5 × 10-2 N. What is the weight supported by a film of the same liquid at the same temperature in Fig. (b) and (c) ? Explain your answer physically.
As the liquid and the temperature is the same in all three the surface tension will also be the same. Since the length is also given to be equal (40 cm) in all three cases the weight being supported is also the same and equal to .
