8. Assume that surface tension forces act on a double-edge razor blade at an angle relative to the water surface on the water surface, as shown below. a. The mass of the razor blade is 0.64 x 103 kg and the total length of its sides is 206 mm. Determine the value of → required to maintain equilibrium between the blade weight and the resultant surface tension force b. The mass of the razor blade is 2.61 x 103 kg and the total length of its sides is 154 mm. Why does the blade sink? Support your answer with the necessary calculations. Surface tension force Blade

Please do handwritten work. Typed work doesn't show the math properly at all and I can't follow it.

8. Assume that surface tension forces act on a double-edge razor blade at an angle
relative to the water surface on the water surface, as shown below.
a. The mass of the razor blade is 0.64 x 103 kg and the total length of its sides is
206 mm. Determine the value of → required to maintain equilibrium between the
blade weight and the resultant surface tension force
b. The mass of the razor blade is 2.61 x 103 kg and the total length of its sides is
154 mm. Why does the blade sink? Support your answer with the necessary
calculations.
