Why are small drops of liquid spherical in shape?

Water is filled up to a height $h$ in a beaker of radius $R$ as shown in the figure. The density of water is $\rho$,the surface tension of water is $T$ and the atmospheric pressure is $P_0$. Consider a vertical section $ABCD$ of the water column through a diameter of the beaker. The force on water on one side of this section by water on the other side of this section has magnitude

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

Work of $3.0 \times 10^{-4} \, J$ is required to be done in increasing the size of a soap film from $10 \, cm \times 6 \, cm$ to $10 \, cm \times 11 \, cm$. The surface tension of the film is

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:
