Answer:
The surface tension is 190.2 N/m.
Explanation:
Initial radius, r = 4 cm
final radius, r' = 6 cm
Work doen, W = 15 J
Let the surface tension is T.
The work done is given by
W = Surface Tension x change in surface area
[tex]15 = T \times 4\pi^2(r'^2 - r^2)\\\\15 = T \times 4 \times 3.14\times 3.14 (0.06^2- 0.04^2)\\\\15 = T\times 0.0788\\\\T = 190.2 N/m[/tex]
