Vedclass · Answer

(D) The work done $W$ in blowing a soap bubble of radius $R$ is given by the surface energy stored,which is $W = T 	imes \Delta A$,where $T$ is the surface tension and $\Delta A$ is the change in surface area. For a soap bubble,there are two surfaces,so $\Delta A = 2 	imes (4\pi R^2) = 8\pi R^2$.Thus,$W = 8\pi R^2 T$.Since the volume $V$ of a spherical bubble is $V = \frac{4}{3}\pi R^3$,we have $R^3 \propto V$,which implies $R \propto V^{1/3}$.Substituting this into the work equation,we get $W \propto R^2 \propto (V^{1/3})^2 = V^{2/3}$.Therefore,the ratio of work done is $\frac{W_2}{W_1} = \left( \frac{V_2}{V_1} ight)^{2/3}$.Given $V_1 = V$ and $V_2 = 2V$,we have $\frac{W_2}{W} = \left( \frac{2V}{V} ight)^{2/3} = (2)^{2/3} = (2^2)^{1/3} = 4^{1/3} = \sqrt[3]{4}$.Hence,$W_2 = \sqrt[3]{4} W$.

If the work done in blowing a bubble of volume $V$ is $W$,then the work done in blowing the bubble of volume $2V$ from the same soap solution will be
