📅 MIT Science Bowl 2022🎓 HS🔄 Round 13#️⃣ Question 22🌟 BONUS✍️ Short Answer

Water has a surface tension of approximately 10^-2 newtons per meter. The Eotvos number is a dimensionless quantity characterizing the ratio of the significance of gravity to that of surface tension in a specific situation, and surface tension appears in the formula raised to the -1. To the nearest power of 10, what is the Eotvos number of a spherical water droplet near the surface of Earth with a radius of 1 millimeter?
