Vedclass · Answer

(C) For the drop to be in equilibrium, the downward gravitational force must be balanced by the upward buoyant force and the upward surface tension force.Weight of the drop = $\frac{4}{3} \pi r^3 d g$.Buoyant force (upward) = Weight of the displaced liquid = $\frac{2}{3} \pi r^3 ho g$ (since it is half-immersed).Surface tension force (upward) = $T 	imes (2 \pi r)$.Equating the forces: $\frac{4}{3} \pi r^3 d g = \frac{2}{3} \pi r^3 ho g + 2 \pi r T$.Dividing by $\pi r$: $\frac{4}{3} r^2 d g = \frac{2}{3} r^2 ho g + 2 T$.Rearranging terms: $r^2 g (\frac{4}{3} d - \frac{2}{3} ho) = 2 T$.$r^2 g (\frac{2}{3} (2 d - ho)) = 2 T$.$r^2 = \frac{3 T}{g(2 d - ho)}$.Therefore, $r = \sqrt{\frac{3 T}{g(2 d - ho)}}$.

Drops of liquid of density $d$ are floating half immersed in a liquid of density $\rho$. If the surface tension of the liquid is $T$, then the radius of the drop is
