The diameter of a rain-drop is $0.02 \, cm$. If the surface tension of water is $72 \times 10^{-3} \, N/m$,then the pressure difference between the internal and external surfaces of the drop will be:

  • A
    $1.44 \times 10^4 \, dyne/cm^2$
  • B
    $1.44 \times 10^4 \, N/m^2$
  • C
    $1.44 \times 10^3 \, dyne/cm^2$
  • D
    $1.44 \times 10^5 \, N/m^2$
