Under isothermal condition, two soap bubbles of radii $r_1$ and $r_2$ combine to form a single soap bubble of radius $R$. If $P$ is the external pressure and $T$ is the surface tension of the soap solution, find the expression for $T$.

  • A
    $\frac{P(R^3 - r_1^3 - r_2^3)}{4(r_1^2 + r_2^2 - R^2)}$
  • B
    $\frac{P(R^3 + r_1^3 + r_2^3)}{2(r_1^2 - r_2^2 + R^2)}$
  • C
    $\frac{P(r_1^3 - r_2^3 - R^3)}{(R^2 + r_1^2 + r_2^2)}$
  • D
    $\frac{P(R^3 - r_1^3 + r_2^3)}{2(r_1^2 + r_2^2 - R^2)}$

$A$ glass capillary tube of inner diameter $0.28 \ mm$ is lowered vertically into water in a vessel. The pressure to be applied on the water in the capillary tube so that the water level in the tube is the same as that in the vessel (in $N/m^2$) is:
Surface tension of water $= 0.07 \ N/m$
Atmospheric pressure $= 10^5 \ N/m^2$

Two soap bubbles combine to form a single bubble. In this process,the change in volume and surface area are respectively $V$ and $A$. If $P$ is the atmospheric pressure,and $T$ is the surface tension of the soap solution,the following relation is true :

The surface tension of a soap bubble is $0.03 \text{ N/m}$. The work done in increasing the diameter of the bubble from $2 \text{ cm}$ to $6 \text{ cm}$ is $\alpha \times 10^{-4} \text{ J}$. The value of $\alpha$ is . . . . . . (Take $\pi = 3.14$).

The pressure inside a small air bubble of radius $0.1 \, mm$ situated just below the surface of water will be equal to. [Take surface tension of water $T = 70 \times 10^{-3} \, N/m$ and atmospheric pressure $P_0 = 1.013 \times 10^5 \, N/m^2$]

The excess pressure in a soap bubble is thrice that in another one. Then the ratio of their volume is
