2A10. Force of Surface Tension

PIRA #	Demonstration Name	Subsets	Abstract
2A10.10	Soap Film Pullup		A soap film pulls a sliding wire up a "U" shaped frame.
2A10.11	Sliding Wire		A sliding wire frame film with a spring on one end and a string pull on the other shows that tension does not increase with length.
2A10.15	Submerged Float		A cork and lead device floats with a wire ring above the surface. Push the ring below the surface and it remains until soap is added to reduce the surface tension. See Sutton M-213.
2A10.20	Floating Metals	pira200	Float needles, paperclips, rings of wire, etc. on water. Add a little soap to sink the needle.
2A10.21	Floating Metal Sheet		Float a sheet of metal on the surface of distilled water and add weights until the metal sinks.
2A10.25	Leaky Boats		Try to float several large (one foot long) flat bottomed boats made of different screen material or aluminum with different size holes. A screen boat, razor blade, or small metal boat with a large hole all float on water. See Sutton M-218.
2A10.30	Surface tension/Adhesion balance		An improved method for measuring surface tension by the direct pull method. A glass plate on one end of a balance beam is in contact with a water surface.
2A10.32	Pull on The Ring		Pull a large ring away from the surface of a liquid with a spring sale. See Sutton M-210.
2A10.33	Surface Tension Disc		A flat glass disc on a soft spring is lowered onto the surface of distilled water and the extension upon pulling the disc off the water is noted.
2A10.35	Cohesion Plates		There is a difference in cohesion of dry and wet plate glass. Glass plates stick together when a film of water is between them.
2A10.37	Cohesion Plates Fallacy		If they demonstrate cohesion, why do they fall apart when placed in a bell jar that is evacuated? Atmospheric pressure holds two plate glass panes together. See AJP 32(1), 61.
2A10.38	Cohesion Tube		A long (2-4 m) tube full of water and sealed at the top will support the water column against gravity. See Sutton M-260.
2A10.40	Drop Soap on Lycopodium Powder		Sprinkle lycopodium powder on the surface of water, then place a drop of liquid soap on the surface. See Sutton M-222.
2A10.50	Bubbles Blowing Bubbles		Blow bubbles of different size on a "T" tube. The smaller soap film bubble blows up the larger one. See Sutton M-239.
2A10.52	Rubber Balloons		The equation relating the internal pressure to the radius is derived and applied to the problem of the two interconnected unequal balloons. See AJP 46(10), 976.
2A10.55	Pressure in a Bubble		Connect a slant water manometer to a tube supporting a bubble. Vary the size of the bubble and note the change of pressure. See Sutton M-240.
2A10.68	Sponge Action		Water picked up by a wet sponge is greater than that picked up by a dry one.
2A10.71	Rolling Drops		A drop of alcohol can roll on the surface of an alcohol dish. See Sutton M-252.
2A10.73	Plateau's Spherule		A method of projecting and strobing drops forming down from a vertical orifice.
2A10.74	Bursting Water Bubble		A jet of water directed upward against the apex of a cone will cause the water to flow around and form a bubble. A drop of ether will decrease the surface tension and the bubble will collapse. See Sutton M-257.
2A10.80	Effect of Charge on Surface Tension		Dripping rate is much greater from an electrically charged buret.
2A10.81	Surface Tension with Electric Field		Droplets from a orifice become a steady stream when connected to a Wimshurst generator.
2A10.83	Electrostatic Breakdown of Surface Tension		Droplets shoot out of a pond of carbon tetrachloride on a Van de Graaff generator as electrostatic breakdown of surface tension takes place.
2A10.84	Electrostatic Dispersion of Water Drop		Water drops from a pipette at high potential are dispersed into droplets.
2A10.85	Changing Drop Size		As the amount of sodium hydroxide is varied in a dilute solution, the size of drops formed by a olive oil jet changes with the variation of surface tension. See Sutton M-247.
2A10.95	Temperature Effects		Olive oil sprayed on hot water forms droplets but on cold water forms a slick. See Sutton M-258.

2A15.21	Catenoid Soap Film		A soap film is established between two concentric rings which are pulled apart which forms a catenoid. See Sutton M-235.
2A15.23	Soap Films - Phase Transition Model		Use soap films to show phase transitions by changing sizes of variable frameworks. See AJP 59(5), 415.
2A15.25	Surface Energy		A soap film on an inverted funnel ascends. See Sutton M-232.
2A15.30	Soap Bubbles		Blow half bubbles on a glass plate.

||<#dddddd>2A30.31 ||<#dddddd>Mercury Amoeba ||<#dddddd> ||<#dddddd>Place a crystal of potassium dichromate near a globule of mercury covered with 10% nitric acid. See [[http://physicslearning.colorado.edu/PIRA/Sutton/PARTI.pdf#pagemode=none&page=1|Sutton M-228]]. ||
||<#dddddd>2A30.32 ||<#dddddd>Mercury Heart ||<#dddddd> ||<#dddddd>Cover a globule of mercury with 10% hydrogen peroxide and add 1% sodium bicarbonate. A yellow film appears on the mercury and breaks down regularly. See [[http://physicslearning.colorado.edu/PIRA/Sutton/PARTI.pdf#pagemode=none&page=1|Sutton M-229]]. ||
||<#dddddd>2A30.35 ||<#dddddd>Pulsating Air Bubble ||<#dddddd> ||<#dddddd>An inverted watch glass traps an air bubble over water. Alcohol is introduced at the edge of the bubble through a bent tube at a rate that causes pulsations.
