Water is filled up to a height $h$ in a beaker of radius $R$ as shown in the figure. The density of water is $\rho$,the surface tension of water is $T$ and the atmospheric pressure is $P_0$. Consider a vertical section $ABCD$ of the water column through a diameter of the beaker. The force on water on one side of this section by water on the other side of this section has magnitude

Consider a circular ring of radius $1.4 \,cm$ lying on the surface of a liquid. If a vertical force of $0.022 \,N$ greater than the weight of the ring is required to lift this ring from the liquid surface,then the surface tension of the liquid is (in $\,Nm^{-1}$)

$A$ small spherical droplet of density $d$ is floating exactly half immersed in a liquid of density $\rho$ and surface tension $T$. The radius of the droplet is (take note that the surface tension applies an upward force on the droplet).
