Question

A small drop of water of surface tension  is squeezed between two clean glass plates so that a thin layer of thickness d and area A is formed between them. If the angle of contact is zero, the force required to pull the plates apart is 

Solution

Correct option is

 

An extremely thin layer of a liquid can be regarded as a collection of a large number of semi-spherical drops. Hence the excess pressure across a thin layer of a liquid is  as in the case of a spherical drop, where r = d/2. Therefore, excess pressure is  

        

 Force due to surface tension pushing the two plates together is 

       F = excess pressure  area of layer 

          .
