A U-shaped wire is dipped in a soap solution and removed. The thin soap film formed between the wire and the light slider supports a weight of \(1.5\times10^{-2}\) N (which includes the small weight of the slider). The length of the slider is \(30\) cm. The surface tension of the film is:
1. | \(3.5\times10^{-2}\) Nm–1 | 2. | \(2.5\times10^{-2}\) Nm–1 |
3. | \(3.5\times10^{-3}\) Nm–1 | 4. | \(2.5\times10^{-3}\) Nm–1 |
