Answer all ten without looking anything up. The result tells you, topic by topic, which lessons you may skip and which you should read.

Already know this?

Ten questions. The result tells you which lessons you may skip.

1

A soap film (\(T = 0.03\,\text{N/m}\)) on a U-frame holds a slider \(10\,\text{cm}\) long. The pull of the film on the slider is

2

What does soap do to the surface tension of water?

3

The work needed to blow a soap bubble (\(T = 0.03\,\text{N/m}\)) of radius \(5\,\text{cm}\) from nothing is

4

A thousand water droplets of radius \(0.1\,\text{mm}\) merge into one drop. The radius of the new drop is

5

The excess pressure inside a water drop (\(T = 0.07\,\text{N/m}\)) of radius \(1\,\text{mm}\) is

6

The excess pressure inside a soap bubble (\(T = 0.03\,\text{N/m}\)) of radius \(1\,\text{cm}\) is

7

Two soap bubbles of radii \(2\,\text{cm}\) and \(4\,\text{cm}\) are in contact. Their common wall

8

Water rises \(14\,\text{cm}\) in a glass capillary of radius \(0.1\,\text{mm}\). In a capillary of radius \(0.2\,\text{mm}\) it rises

9

A glass capillary dips into mercury, whose angle of contact with glass is about \(135^\circ\). The mercury in the tube

10

Water rises \(14\,\text{cm}\) in a tube of diameter \(0.2\,\text{mm}\). Between two glass plates \(0.2\,\text{mm}\) apart it rises
