$A$ square wire frame of each side $L$ is dipped in soap solution. On taking out, a membrane is formed. If the surface tension of the solution is $T$, the force acting on the frame will be (in $T L$)

$A$ beaker of radius $15\, cm$ is filled with a liquid of surface tension $0.075\, N/m$. The force across an imaginary diameter on the surface of the liquid is:

Consider a water tank shown in the figure. It has one wall at $x=L$ and can be taken to be very wide in the $z$ direction. When filled with a liquid of surface tension $S$ and density $\rho$,the liquid surface makes an angle $\theta_0 \left(\theta_0 \ll 1\right)$ with the $x$-axis at $x=L$. If $y(x)$ is the height of the surface,then the equation for $y(x)$ is:
(Take $\theta(x) \approx \sin \theta(x) \approx \tan \theta(x) = \frac{dy}{dx}$,where $g$ is the acceleration due to gravity.)

Consider a bowl filled with water on which some black pepper powder has been sprinkled uniformly. Now,a drop of liquid soap is added at the centre of the surface of water. The picture of the surface immediately after this will look like:

The unit of surface tension in the $SI$ system is
