$A$ drop of water with a volume of $0.05 \ cm^3$ is pressed between two glass plates,causing it to spread between the plates. The area of contact with each plate is $40 \ cm^2$. If the surface tension of water is $70 \ dyne/cm$,the minimum normal force required to separate the two glass plates in newtons is approximately: (assuming the angle of contact is zero)

  • A
    $45 \ N$
  • B
    $100 \ N$
  • C
    $90 \ N$
  • D
    None of these
