On heating water,bubbles formed at the bottom of the vessel detach and rise. Assume the bubbles are spheres of radius $R$ and make a circular contact of radius $r$ with the bottom of the vessel. If $r << R$ and the surface tension of water is $T$,find the value of $r$ just before the bubbles detach. (Density of water is $\rho_{w}$)

  • A
    $R^{2} \sqrt{\frac{\rho_{w} g}{T}}$
  • B
    $R^{2} \sqrt{\frac{2 \rho_{w} g}{3 T}}$
  • C
    $R^{2} \sqrt{\frac{3 \rho_{w} g}{T}}$
  • D
    $R^{2} \sqrt{\frac{\rho_{w} g}{6 T}}$
