- The surface tension can be determined using the Lecomte De Noüy ring method. The mass of the ring is m = 4.9 g and the diameter d = 64.1 mm. The tensile force just before tearing is in water at 25 ° C is F = 0,089 N. Calculate the surface tention
- Relevant Equations
- y = F/4*pi*r
Hello! I am having unexpected difficulties with this problem.A friend showed me an article regarding the Lecomde ring method,and at the bottom was this little problem that to solve.I've done it like this.
$$ y = \frac{F}{4\pi r} $$ where F is the given force and r is = 0,0325 in meters. The value I get is y = 0,22 N/m. But according to the solutions this is wrong,the right solution should be y = 0,1016 N/m.I highly doubt they are wrong,which means I made a mistake somewhere but I don't see where.The only formula that appered in the article was this and the usual surface tension.What am I i missing here.Thank you!
