Questions from Exercise - 1 with Hints & Solutions
A capillary tube of the radius, is immersed in water, and water rises in it to a height, . Mass of water in the capillary tube is . If the radius of the tube is doubled, the mass of water that will rise in the capillary tube will now be

A soap film is created in a small wire frame as shown in the figure. The sliding wire of mass is given a velocity to the right and assume that is small enough so that film does not break. Plane of the film is horizontal and surface tension is . Then time to regain the original position of wire is equal to :

A rectangular massless blade (as shown in figure) is placed on a water surface (surface tension . Perimeter of the middle opening is . Minimum force needed to lift this blade-up is

There is a uniform rectangular wire frame having a thin film of soap solution. A massless thin wire of radius and area of cross section is placed on the surface of film, and inside portion of the film is pricked. If surface tension of soap solution is and Young's modulus of wire is then change in radius of the wire is:

Two different vertical positions & of a capillary tube are shown in figure with the lower end inside water. For position , contact angle is rad & water rises to height above the surface of water while for position height of the tube outside water is kept insufficient & equal to ,then contact angle in radian becomes:

A water jet of radius is shown in the figure. The force between the part and part at the section due to the surface tension is : (Assume that, is surface tension)

A wire is bend at an angle . A rod of mass can slide along the bended wire without friction as shown in figure. If a soap film is maintained in the frame and frame is kept in a vertical position and rod is in equilibrium. If rod is displaced slightly in vertical direction. The time period of small oscillation is sec. where and are constant number then is

A metallic wire of density floats horizontally in water. The maximum radius of the wire such that it may not sink will be (surface tension of water ) (Neglect buoyant force)
