$A$ liquid drop of density $\rho$ is floating half immersed in a liquid of surface tension $S$ and density $\frac{\rho}{2}$. If the surface tension $S$ of the liquid is numerically equal to $10$ times the acceleration due to gravity $g$,then the diameter of the drop is:

The value of surface tension of a liquid at critical temperature is

$A$ thin metal wire of density $\rho$ floats on the water surface horizontally. If it is $\text{NOT}$ to sink in water,then the maximum radius of the wire is proportional to $(T = \text{surface tension of water}, g = \text{gravitational acceleration})$.

$A$ $10\, cm$ long wire is placed horizontally on the surface of water and is gently pulled up with a force of $2 \times 10^{-2}\, N$ to keep the wire in equilibrium. The surface tension,in $N/m$,of water is:
