Answer

$W=8.88\times10^{-15}N$

Work Step by Step

The magnitude of gravitational force i.e weight $W$ is $W=\rho V g$..................eq(1) We know that for water, $\rho=1000\frac{Kg}{m^3}$ Given that $d=1.20\mu m=1.20\times10^{-6}m$ so $r=\frac{1.20\times10^{-6}}{2}=0.6\times10^{-6}m$ Putting these values in eq(1) and solving: $W=(1000)(\frac{4}{3}\pi (0.6\times10^{-6})^3) (9.81)$ $W=8.88\times10^{-15}N$
