The correct answer is:
A soap film has two free surfaces, so the total length of the film to be supported,
Let the surface tension of the film
If the total on the slider due to surface tension,
then
In equilibrium position, the force f on the slider due to surface tension must be balanced by the weight supported by the slider
i.e.,
Let the surface tension of the film
