Chapter 7, Problem 7.14(choose chapter or problem)
Because of surface tension, it is possible, with care, tosupport an object heavier than water on the water surface as shownin Fig. P7.14. (See Video V1.9.) The maximum thickness, h, of asquare of material that can be supported is assumed to be a functionof the length of the side of the square, , the density of thematerial, , the acceleration of gravity, g, and the surface tensionof the liquid, . Develop a suitable set of dimensionless parametersfor this problem.
