Consider a spherical drop of radius $R$. The surface tension of the liquid is $\sigma$. The force of surface tension on the shaded sub-hemisphere due to the remaining drop is $0.5\,\pi \sigma R$. The value of the angle $\theta$ (angle subtended by the sub-hemisphere at the center of the drop) is ......$^o$.

$A$ drop of some liquid of volume $0.04 \ cm^{3}$ is placed on the surface of a glass slide. Then another glass slide is placed on it in such a way that the liquid forms a thin layer of area $20 \ cm^{2}$ between the surfaces of the two slides. To separate the slides a force of $16 \times 10^{5} \ dyne$ has to be applied normal to the surfaces. The surface tension of the liquid is (in $dyne \ cm^{-1}$):

In most liquids, with a rise in temperature, the surface tension of the liquid

$A$ wire of length $10 \text{ cm}$ is gently placed horizontally on the surface of water having surface tension of $75 \times 10^{-3} \text{ N/m}$. What force is required to just pull up the wire from the water surface?
