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!
