A soap bubble of surface tension 0.04 N/m is blown to a diameter of 7 cm. If (15000 - x) of work is done in blowing it further to make its diameter 14 cm, then the value of x is . ( = 22/7)
A big drop is formed by coalescing 1000 small droplets of water. The ratio of surface energy of 1000 droplets to that of energy of big drop is 10x. The value of x is .
A soap bubble is blown to a diameter of 7 cm. 36960 erg of work is done in blowing it further. If surface tension of soap solution is 40 dyne/cm then the new radius is cm. Take ( = 227 ).
A big drop is formed by coalescing 1000 small identical drops of water. If E1 be the total surface energy of 1000 small drops of water and E2 be the surface energy of single big drop of water, then E1:E2 is x:1 where x= .
