Question:medium

A thin film of water is formed between two straight parallel wires each of length 8 cm separated by distance of 0.6 cm. The work done to increase the distance between the wires to 0.8 cm is (Surface tension of water = 0.07 Nm$^{-1}$)

Show Hint

When calculating work done against surface tension for a thin film (like a soap film), remember that the film has two surfaces. The total change in surface area is always twice the change in the geometric area.
