$A$ liquid drop of volume $V$ is placed on the surface of a glass plate. Then,another glass plate is placed on it such that the liquid forms a thin layer of area $A$ between the surfaces of the two plates. To separate the plates,a force $F$ has to be applied normal to the surfaces. The surface tension of the liquid is

$A$ liquid column of height $0.04 \,cm$ balances excess pressure of a soap bubble of a certain radius. If the density of the liquid is $8 \times 10^3 \,kg \,m^{-3}$ and the surface tension of the soap solution is $0.28 \,N \,m^{-1}$, then the diameter of the soap bubble is . . . . . . $cm$.
$(g = 10 \,m \,s^{-2})$

$A$ 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)
