When water is filled carefully in a glass,one can fill it to a height $h$ above the rim of the glass due to the surface tension of water. To calculate $h$ just before water starts flowing,model the shape of the water above the rim as a disc of thickness $h$ having semicircular edges,as shown schematically in the figure. When the pressure of water at the bottom of this disc exceeds what can be withstood due to the surface tension,the water surface breaks near the rim and water starts flowing from there. If the density of water,its surface tension and the acceleration due to gravity are $10^3 \ kg \ m^{-3}$,$0.07 \ N \ m^{-1}$ and $10 \ m \ s^{-2}$,respectively,the value of $h$ (in $mm$) is:

$A$ thin metal wire of density $\rho$ floats on the water surface horizontally. If it is $\text{NOT}$ to sink in water,then the maximum radius of the wire is proportional to $(T = \text{surface tension of water}, g = \text{gravitational acceleration})$.

Consider a water tank shown in the figure. It has one wall at $x=L$ and can be taken to be very wide in the $z$ direction. When filled with a liquid of surface tension $S$ and density $\rho$,the liquid surface makes an angle $\theta_0 \left(\theta_0 \ll 1\right)$ with the $x$-axis at $x=L$. If $y(x)$ is the height of the surface,then the equation for $y(x)$ is:
(Take $\theta(x) \approx \sin \theta(x) \approx \tan \theta(x) = \frac{dy}{dx}$,where $g$ is the acceleration due to gravity.)
