Answer:
horrible, but how about you?
Explanation:
Because liquids with low surface tension spread easily, and therefore are easier to apply to cuts and wounds.
Imagine a skinny straw in the water, standing right over the hole. The WEIGHT of the water in that straw is the force on the tape. Now, the volume of water in the straw is (1 mm^2) times (20 cm). Once you have the volume, you can use the density and gravity to find the weight. And THAT's the force on the tape. If the tape can't hold that force, then it peels off and the water runs out through the hole. /// This is a pretty hard problem, because it involved mm^2, cm, and m^3. You have to be very very very careful with your units as you work through this one. If you've been struggling with it, I'm almost sure the problem is the units.
