A wooden stick 2 m long is floating on the surface of the water. The surface tension of water is 0.07 N/m. By putting soap solution on one side of the stick, the surface tension is reduced to 0.06 N/m. The net force on the stick due to surface tension will be:

1. 0.07 N 2. 0.06 N
3. 0.01 N 4. 0.02 N
