R, As Shown Below. The Planes of The Rings Are Parallel, and The Distance Between

The document describes a soap bubble stretched between two circular rings of radius r that are parallel and separated by a distance of 2l. It asks the reader to find the shape of the soap bubble and numerically determine the largest value of l/r for which a stable soap bubble can exist between the rings.

Consider a soap bubble that stretches between two identical circular rings of radius
r, as shown below. The planes of the rings are parallel, and the distance between
them is 2`. Find the shape of the soap bubble.
What is the largest value of `/r for which a stable soap bubble exists? You will have
to solve something numerically here.
