A \(\mathrm U\text -\)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 \(1.5\times10^{-2}~\text{N}\) (which includes the small weight of the slider). The length of the slider is \(30~\text{cm}.\) The surface tension of the film is:
1. | \(3.5\times10^{-2}~\text{Nm}^{-1}\) | 2. | \(2.5\times10^{-2}~\text{Nm}^{-1}\) |
3. | \(3.5\times10^{-3}~\text{Nm}^{-1}\) | 4. | \(2.5\times10^{-3}~\text{Nm}^{-1}\) |
