Problem 1: Consider 1 kg liquid water at temperature 298 K (specific weight 1 kg/L) filled in a closed glass vessel. Given the interfacial tension glass / water at this temperature is 0.07275 J/m2. Calculate the interfacial energy in case the glass vessel is

  1. A cube
  2. A sphere
  3. A circular cylinder 5 cm length.

Compare the results obtained and formulate a general statement about effect of the interfacial shape on its energy.
