Work of 3.0×10⁻⁴ joule is required to be done in increasing the size of a soap film

Work of 3.0×10⁻⁴ joule is required to be done in increasing the size of a soap film from 10cm x 6cm to 10cm x 11cm. The surface tension of the film is

Options

(a) 5 x10⁻² N/m
(b) 3 x10⁻² N/m
(c) 1.5 x10⁻² N/m
(d) 1.2 x10⁻² N/m

Correct Answer:

3 x10⁻² N/m

Explanation:

Surface tension, S = work done/increase in area
As the soap film has two surfaces.
S = (3.0 x 10⁻⁴ J)/[2 x (10 x 11 – 10 x 6 ) x 10⁻⁴ m²]
= 3 x 10⁻² N/m.
