Grade 11 - Worksheet

1. Define surface tension. State its S.I unit and dimensions.


2. What are the factors which affect surface tension?
3. Write down the following liquids in the order of increasing surface tension at a given
temperature: water, mercury, soap solution.
4. Oil is sprinkled on sea waves to calm them. Why?
5. Some straw are spread on the surface of pure water filled in a vessel. On dropping a piece of
sugar in water, the straw come nearer to the piece, but on dropping a piece of soap they go away
from it. Explain it with reason.
6. A drop of oil poured on water surface spreads out, but a water drop poured on oil is compressed
in a globule. Why?
7. We cannot separate two pieces of paper-cards joined by gum. Why?
8. Why is it easier to spray water when some soap is dissolved in it?
9. A drop of liquid under no external forces is always spherical in shape. Explain
10. The hot soup is tastier than the cold one. Why?
11. Why do we prefer to wash clothes in hot soap than in cold solution?
12. A thin needle floats on water, but on mixing some detergent (or soap) in water, the needle
sinks. Why?
13. Small insects swimming on water die when kerosene oil is added into the water. Why?
14. Why does the cotton wick in oil-filled lamp keep on burning?
15. Why is cotton dress comfortable in summer?
16. A new earthen (clay) pot keeps the water contained in be it cool, but on becoming old it fails
to do so. Why?
17. A mercury barometer reads slightly less than the actual pressure. Why?
18. Deduce expressions for the excess pressure inside a i) liquid drop, ii) air bubble in a liquid, iii)
soap bubble.
19. What is capillarity? Establish a relation among the height h of water column in a glass
capillary tube, the internal radius r of the tube and the surface tension T of water.
Numericals
1. How much work will be done in enlarging the surface area of a soap
bubble by 1.0 cm2? Surface tension of soap solution = 3.0 x 10-2 N m-1
2. In increasing the area of a film of soap solution from 50 cm2 to 100 cm2, 3.0 x 10-4 J of work is
done. Calculate the value of surface tension of the soap solution.
3. A liquid drop of radius 1 mm is broken into 1000 equal small drops. How much work will be
done? Surface tension of water = 0.007 N m-1
4. Calculate the energy released when 1000 small water drops of each of same radius 10-7 m
coalesce to form one large drop. The surface tension of water is 0.007 N m-1.
5. What would be the excess pressure above atmosphere inside an air bubble of
0.2 mm radius situated just below the surface of water? The surface tension of
water = 0.007 N m-1. Express this excess pressure in terms of the height of
mercury column.
6. The diameter of a capillary tube is 0.4 x 10-3 m. It is held vertically in a
liquid whose density is 0.8 x 103 kg m-3 and the surface tension is 9.8 x 10-2 N m-1.
Determine the height to which the liquid will rise in the tube. (Angle of contact is zero)
7. The radius of a capillary tube is 0.025 mm. It is held vertically in a liquid whose density is 0.8
x 103 kg m-3 and the surface tension is 3.0 x 10-2 N m-1. Determine the height to which the
liquid will rise in the tube. (cosine of angle of contact is 0.3, g = 10 m s-2 ). If the capillary is
taken down in water slowly until its upper end comes in level of water, will the water come out
from this end?
8. Water rises in a capillary tube to a height of 5.0 cm. If surface tension is 9.8 x 10-2 N m-1, then
find out the diameter of the capillary tube.
9. Water rises up in a glass capillary up to a height of 9.0 cm, while mercury falls down by 3.4
cm in the same capillary. Assume angles of contact for water-glass and mercury-glass 00 and
1350 respectively. Determine the ratio of surface tensions of mercury and water (cos 1350 = -
0.71).
