How is this different from problem 51 where the radius of the straw was a factor? Why did you use surface tension for that equation and not for this? (Same question applies to the restaurant q)

Kate, I suppose we can try setting F tension = F due to m*g, but will we have enough information to solve for h? Whereas, if we just the pressure formula, we can solve for h more directly.
