(N/A) For a liquid drop,there is only one free surface. The excess pressure $P$ inside a liquid drop of radius $R$ and surface tension $T$ is given by the formula:
$P = \frac{2T}{R}$
where:
$P$ is the excess pressure,
$T$ is the surface tension of the liquid,
$R$ is the radius of the liquid drop.

When a capillary tube is dipped into a tub containing mercury, the mercury level in the capillary goes down because the pressure just below the meniscus is

One end of a uniform glass capillary tube of radius $r = 0.025 \ cm$ is immersed vertically in water to a depth $h = 1 \ cm$. The excess pressure in $N/m^2$ required to blow an air bubble out of the tube is: (Surface tension of water $T = 7 \times 10^{-2} \ N/m$, Density of water $\rho = 10^3 \ kg/m^3$, Acceleration due to gravity $g = 10 \ m/s^2$)

In a water tank,an air bubble rises from the bottom to the top surface of the water. If the depth of the water in the tank is $7.28 \ m$ and atmospheric pressure is $10 \ m$ of water,then the ratio of the radii of the bubble at the bottom of the tank and at the top surface of the water is (Temperature of the water in the tank is constant).

The work done in splitting a water drop of radius $R$ into $64$ droplets is ($T=$ Surface tension of water). (in $\pi TR^2$)

One large soap bubble of diameter '$D$' breaks into $64$ smaller bubbles of equal size. If the surface tension of the soap solution is '$T$',what is the change in surface energy (in $\pi T D^2$)?
