12. When liquid medicine of density  is to be put in the eye, it is done with the help of a
dropper. As the bulb on the top of the dropper is pressed, a drop forms at the opening
of the dropper. We wish to estimate the size of the drop. We first assume that the drop
formed at the opening is spherical because that requires a minimum increase in its
surface energy. To determine the size we calculate the net vertical force due to the
surface tension T when the radius of the drop is R. When the force becomes smaller
that the weight of the drop, the drop gets detached from the dropper (  is the density
of liquid). Select the correct options.
