5. At 20°C ethanol has a surface tension 22.3 dynes/cm. Suppose that a film of ethanol is maintained on the wire frame, see figure, one side is movable. The initial dimensions of the wire frame are shown. Considering the film as the system, determine of the work done when the wire is moved 1 cm in the direction indicated. 2 cm 3 cm $\delta W = -\gamma \delta A$ where $\gamma$ is the surface tension
