Textbook Question
Chapter 2, Problem 68P
You intend to gently place several steel needles on the free surface of the water in a large tank. The needles come in two lengths: Some are 5 cm long, and some are 10 cm long. Needles of each length are available with diameters of 1 mm, 2.5 mm, and 5 mm. Make a prediction as to which needles, if any, will float.

Global warming will produce rising sea levels partly due to melting ice caps and partly due to the expansion of water as average ocean
temperatures rise.
To get some idea of the size of this effect, calculate the change in length, Ah (in mm), of a column of water 1.5 km high for a temperature increase
of 1.2 °C.Assume the column is not free to expand sideways.
As a model of the ocean, that is a reasonable approximation, as only parts of the ocean very close to the surface can expand sideways onto land, and
only to a limited degree. As another approximation, neglect the fact that ocean warming is not uniform with depth.
Properties of water: 3 = 210 x 10 /C.
c= 4186 J/kg - °C,
L; = 334 kJ/kg,
Le = 2256 kJ/kg
Enter you answer below (to the nearest mm):

What will be the diameter (in mm) of a water droplet, the pressure inside which is 0.00201
N/cm? greater than the outside pressure? (Take surface tension as 0.075 N/m)
