Pure water can roughly hold 0.073 grams per cm at 20 degree Celsius.Impurities can change the figures.
This year my teacher made us use a transparency and we dropped water, oil, alcohol, and i think it was water with salt ...not so sure... well then we recorded which one stood together and which one separated the fastest.....be sure to illustrate if this is a science fair project. hope i helped if not well sorry i tried: )______________________________________________Another way is to take a penny and for each type of liquid, count the number of drops that the penny can hold before the liquid's surface tension breaks.
To hold both wings in line with each other and to tension the entire aircraft.

Depends on the structural integrity of the deck.
250ml of water equals 8.45 US fluid ounces, so it is possible that a mug could hold 250ml, depending on the size of the mug of course.
Water surface tension hold the needle on the water surface.
Small insects such can walk on water because their weight is not enough to penetrate the surface. A carefully placed small needle can be made to float on the surface of water even though it is several times as dense as water. If the surface is agitated to break up the surface tension, needle will quickly sink.
because water has a surface tension that likes to hold together. How much it takes to hold it together is based on what incline it is on. In this case, wave patterns are observed because the surface tension keeps a larger amount of water in one place, until the weight overcomes the surface tension, and it creates the wave pattern you see.
for example, if drops of water are placed on the top of a penny, the surface tension is going to hold the drops on top of the penny. when the penny can hold no more, it will all overflow. make sense?

If you're asking why can't soda hold up a paper weight it's because it's surface tension is less than that of water. Sodas contain other elements, including salts, sugars and gas, which lessen the number of hydrogen bonds, which is stronger than the ionic-water or Van der Waals interactions that can occur. Purer water has more hydrogen bonds, which are much stronger.
water does not lie entirely flat, the surface is convexed, causing a similar effect as a magnifying glass.
Surface tension causes molecules to hold to themselves more tightly. Therefore high surface tension liquids, like pure water, will form a taller drop and low surface tension substances, like oil, will spread out and be flat.
The vertical components of surface energy in Young's equation point in the same direction. They add up to balance the weight of the object. The weight must be lower than the surface tension can hold. The object must also not be wettable.
Yes, pure water is a one molecule based structure, which hold together better than a mixture. When soap or other chemical is added, it breaks surface tension by getting in the way of each water molecule. Try putting water drops on a penny to build a bubble, then add a small drop of soap to it, you'll see that when soap is added, the water bubble collapses.
Yes a paper clip is able to float in water. Take a bowl, fill it up to the top with water, take a paper towel and put it into the bowl, let it sit there for 3 seconds...then put the paper clip on it, and slowly remove the towel. This is able to work by Surface tension.Depending on the size, some paperclips can due to the high surface tension of water.
An aluminum foil boat floats because it is more dense than water, therefore the surface tension of the water is able to hold the boat up.
