Question: Consider the rectangular sheet formed by bringing substance - A and substance - B together. Contact angle of water on substance - A is 6

Consider the rectangular sheet formed by bringing substance-A and substance-B
together. Contact angle of water on substance-A is 60. Contact angle of water on
substance-B is 120. Interfacial energy of A-B=40mJm2*water=73mJm2.
A=50mJm2*B=20mJm2.
A) Will substance-A and substance-B detach in water?
B) Draw the water contact angles appropriately and qualitatively explain what
will happen when we put the rectangular sheet on top of water as shown on the
left.
C) Consider 3 different capillary tubes all having radius r=0.1mm : i) made of
material A, ii) made of material B, iii) made of A-B composite (fA=0.50).
The tubes are immersed in water.
Draw (qualitatively) the shape of the meniscus and the height of the water (with
respect to water surface out of the tube) in each tube. Calculate the height in each
tube.
 Consider the rectangular sheet formed by bringing substance-A and substance-B together.
