Question

A soap film is on a rectangular wire ring of size . If the size of the film is changed to , then calculate the work done in this process. The surface tension of soap film is 

Solution

Correct option is

 

Initial surface-area of the film, 

          

          

Final surface-area of the film, 

          

          

Increase in surface-area, 

          

          .   

Film has two surfaces. Hence net increase in surface-area of the film is

       

             .

 work done = surface tension  increase in area   

                       

                     .
