The excess pressure inside a bubble in water is $P_1$. The excess pressure inside a drop of the same radius is $P_2$. Then:

  • A
    $P_1 = 2P_2$
  • B
    $P_1 = P_2$
  • C
    $P_2 = 2P_1$
  • D
    $P_2 = 0, P_1 \neq 0$

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 $\,N/m$)

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

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

$A$ large number of water drops,each of radius $r$,combine to form a single drop of radius $R$. If the surface tension is $T$ and the mechanical equivalent of heat is $J$,the rise in heat energy per unit volume will be:

$Assertion :$ Smaller drops of liquid resist deforming forces better than the larger drops.
$Reason :$ Excess pressure inside a drop is directly proportional to its surface area.
