$A$ large number of droplets,each of radius $r$,coalesce to form a bigger drop of radius $R$. An engineer designs a machine so that the energy released in this process is converted into the kinetic energy of the drop. The velocity of the drop is ($T=$ surface tension,$\rho =$ density)

When an air bubble of radius $r$ rises from the bottom to the surface of a lake,its radius becomes $\frac{5r}{4}$. Taking the atmospheric pressure to be equal to $10 \ m$ height of water column,the depth of the lake would approximately be ....... $m$ (ignore the surface tension and the effect of temperature).
