The diagram required for the second part of the question is not clear. Hence it is not solved.

3. Surface tension of a water strider For an animal the size of a human, surface tension seems to be a rather small and insignificant force (though it plays an important if unnoticed role in our breathing). But as animals get smaller, surface tension gets increasingly significant. (The weight of the animal goes down with the cube of the size while the surface tension only decreases linearly.) For animals like the basilisk lizard and the jacana (bird), they appear to...
