Initial area of the film       A_i = 4 \times 2 = 8 \ cm^2 = 8 \times10^{-4} \ m^2

Final area of the film       A_f = 5 \times 4 = 20 \ cm^2 = 20 \times10^{-4} \ m^2

Thus change in area    \Delta A = (20-8) \ cm^2 = 12 \times10^{-4} \ m^2

Work done     W=3 \times10^{-4} \ J

Using for soap films        W=S(2ΔA)                     where S is the surface tension

∴    3×10−4=S×2×12×10-4                 

?S=0.125  Nm-1
