Q. A thread is tied slightly loose to a wire frame as in figure and the frame is dipped into a soap solution and taken out. The frame is completely covered with the film. When the portion A is punctured with a pin, the thread

A) Becomes concave towards A
B) Becomes convex towards A
C) Either (a) or (b) depending on the size of A with respect to B
D) Remain in the initial position
Explanation

(c) The air pressure inside a soap bubble is
$p = \frac{4T}{R}$
Which is greater than the atmospheric pressure. If a hole is made at A, air will flow outside through A. then the thread becomes convex looking from A and from B towards A it is concave. Hence, becoming concave or convex, depends on size of A with respect to B.
