Surface tension is often calculated using a machine that lifts a wire ring from the surface of a liquid. In this case the ring and liquid have some cohesive forces and attract rather than repel. In order to lift a ring of radius 2.75 cm off of the surface of a pool of blood plasma, a vertical force of 2.00*10-2 N greater than the weight of the ring is required. Consider the situation just before the ring breaks contact with the blood plasma where the blood plasma makes a contact angle of approximately zero degrees along the circumference of the ring and is stretched down vertically on both sides of the ring.
Required:
Calculate the surface tension of blood plasma from this information.

Sawyer is studying diffraction. he draws a diagram of a plane wave to show how light waves travel. which best describes sawyer’s error? the wave fronts should be perpendicular to the direction in which the waves move. the arrow showing the direction of movement of the waves should be pointing to the left. the arrow showing the direction of movement of the waves should be pointing downward. the wave fronts should be both parallel and perpendicular to the direction in which the waves move.
