NEET 2024 Physics Surface Tension MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 11

A thin flat circular disc of radius 4.5 cm is placed gently over the surface of water. If surface tension of water is 0.07 Nm⁻¹, then the excess force required to take it away from the surface is:

A

1.98 mN

B

99 N

C

19.8 mN

D

198 N

Correct Answer

Option C

Detailed Explanation

The force due to surface tension is F=2πr×surface tensionF = 2\pi r \times \text{surface tension}. Substituting the values gives F=19.8F = 19.8 mN.
