Paragraph for Questions 11 and 12

Many species of (animals mostly insects and spiders) are capable of walking on the surface
of water. Compared to the displacement required to float only a very small part of the water
walking animals body is below the ambient water surface level. The animals weight is mostly
carried by surface tension while buoyancy is negligible.
The water is deformed by animals weight and makes contact with its feet along a combined
perimeter length L (Total length in contact with surface). Here we define a parameter Bond
number B0. Bond number is the ratio of weight and surface tension force. If B 0 is less than 1
then the animal floats, if it is more than 1 then it drowns.

11. An insect with mass 10 mg and total length of the contact perimeter 1.3 mm can just walk on the
liquid surface. The surface tension of liquid is :
(1) 0.058 N/m
(2) 0.026 N/m
(3) 0.076 N/m
(4) 0.112 N/m
12. Mass of insect A is 15 mg and total contact perimeter is 2.5 mm. Mass of insect B is 6 mg and
total contact perimeter is 0.6 mm. The surface tension of a liquid is 7.5 10 2 N/m. Both insect
are on surface of the liquid:
(1) insect A will float while insect B will drown
(2) insect B will float while insect A will
drown
(2) both insects will float
(4) both insects will drown
