$A$ long cylindrical glass vessel has a pinhole of diameter $0.2 \,mm$ at its bottom. The depth to which the vessel can be lowered vertically in a deep water bath without the water entering into the vessel is (surface tension of water,$T=0.07 \,N/m$,acceleration due to gravity,$g=10 \,m/s^2$) (in $\,cm$)

The excess pressure inside a spherical soap bubble of radius $1 \,cm$ is balanced by a column of oil (specific gravity $= 0.8$), $2 \,mm$ high. The surface tension of the bubble is: (in $\,N/m$)

$A$ soap bubble of radius $1.0 \text{ cm}$ is formed inside another soap bubble of radius $2.0 \text{ cm}$. The radius of another soap bubble which has the same pressure difference as that between the inside of the smaller and outside of the large soap bubble, in metres is:

If two soap bubbles of different radii are connected by a tube,
