$A$ certain number of spherical liquid drops of radius $r$ coalesce to form a single drop of radius $R$ and volume $V$. If $T$ is the surface tension of the liquid,which one of the following statements is true for the energy $(E)$ in the process?

  • A
    $E=3 V T\left[\frac{1}{r}-\frac{1}{R}\right]$ is absorbed.
  • B
    $E=4 V T\left[\frac{1}{r}-\frac{1}{R}\right]$ is released.
  • C
    $E=3 V T\left[\frac{1}{r}-\frac{1}{R}\right]$ is released.
  • D
    $E=4 V T\left[\frac{1}{r}-\frac{1}{R}\right]$ is absorbed.

$A$ 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 $= 10^5 \ N/m^2$

When a large bubble rises from the bottom of a water lake to its surface,its radius doubles. If the atmospheric pressure is equal to the pressure of a water column of height $H$,then the depth of the lake will be

An air bubble rises from the bottom to the top of a water tank in which the temperature of the water is uniform. The surface area of the bubble at the top of the tank is $125 \%$ more than its surface area at the bottom of the tank. If the atmospheric pressure is equal to the pressure of $10 \ m$ water column, then the depth of water in the tank is (in $m$)

The excess pressure inside a soap bubble is three times that of another soap bubble. The ratio of their volumes is:
