The maximum force,in addition to the weight,required to pull a wire of $5.0 \, cm$ long from the surface of water at a temperature of $20^\circ C$ is $728 \, dynes$. The surface tension of water is:

  • A
    $7.28 \, N/cm$
  • B
    $7.28 \, dyne/cm$
  • C
    $72.8 \, dyne/cm$
  • D
    $7.28 \times 10^2 \, dyne/cm$
