Let $R_{1}$ and $R_{2}$ be the radii of two mercury drops. $A$ big mercury drop is formed from them under isothermal conditions. The radius of the resultant drop is

  • A
    $R=\sqrt{R_{1}^{2}-R_{2}^{2}}$
  • B
    $R=\frac{R_{1}+R_{2}}{2}$
  • C
    $R=\sqrt{R_{1}^{2}+R_{2}^{2}}$
  • D
    $R=\left(R_{1}^{3}+R_{2}^{3}\right)^{\frac{1}{3}}$
