A uniform cylinder of length $$L$$ and mass $$M$$ having cross-sectional area $$A$$ is suspended, with its length vertical, from a fixed point by a mass-less spring such that it is half submerged in a liquid of density $$\sigma $$ at equilibrium position. The extension $${x_0}$$ of the spring when it is in equilibrium is:

Assume that a drop of liquid evaporates by decreases in its surface energy, so that its temperature remains unchanged. What should be the minimum radius of the drop for this to be possible ? The surface tension is $$T,$$ density of liquid is $$\rho $$ and $$L$$ is its latent heat of vaporization.

A thin liquid film formed between a U-shaped wire and a light slider supports a weight of $$1.5 \times {10^{ - 2}}\,\,N$$ (see figure). The length of the slider is $$30$$ $$cm$$ and its weight negligible. The surface tension of the liquid film is

Work done in increasing the size of a soap bubble from a radius of $$3$$ $$cm$$ to $$5$$ $$cm$$ is nearly (Surface tension of soap solution $$ = 0.03N{m^{ - 1}},$$
