A metal wire of density ' ' floats on water surface horizontally. If it is NOT to sink in water, then maximum radius of wire is ( = surface tension of water, = gravitational acceleration)

Options:

Answer:
C
Solution:

The correct option is (C). There are two free surfaces as shown in the figure:Consider the force balance per unit length as shown in the diagram above: Therefore, . We neglect buoyancy force as it is negligible as compared to surface tension force!
