A graduated cylinder full of water in the lab on a bench that has just been waxed. The cylinder is 1 cm^2 in the inner cross-sectional area, and the water is 10 cm high. The temperature is at room temperature (25 °C) and remains constant. Water-air interface energy (i.e., water surface tension) is approximately 0.072 N/m at 25 °C. All the water spills and forms a puddle that can be approximated as a thin disk. (a) If this disk’s diameter is 14 cm, calculate the work required to create just the air-water interface. (b) Calculate the change in the gravitational potential energy of the water puddle in (b) (g = 9.8 m/s2

Question

A graduated cylinder full of water in the lab on a bench that has just been waxed. The cylinder is 1 cm^2 in the inner cross-sectional area, and the water is 10 cm high. The temperature is at room temperature (25 °C) and remains constant. Water-air interface energy (i.e., water surface tension) is approximately 0.072 N/m at 25 °C. All the water spills and forms a puddle that can be approximated as a thin disk.

(a) If this disk’s diameter is 14 cm, calculate the work required to create just the air-water interface.

(b) Calculate the change in the gravitational potential energy of the water puddle in (b) (g = 9.8 m/s2
