The excess pressure inside a soap bubble of radius $0.5 \ cm$ is balanced by the pressure due to an oil column of height $4 \ mm$. If the density of the oil is $900 \ kg \ m^{-3}$, then the surface tension of the soap solution is (Acceleration due to gravity $= 10 \ m \ s^{-2}$)

  • A
    $9 \times 10^{-2} \ N \ m^{-1}$
  • B
    $2.25 \times 10^{-2} \ N \ m^{-1}$
  • C
    $4.5 \times 10^{-2} \ N \ m^{-1}$
  • D
    $7 \times 10^{-2} \ N \ m^{-1}$
