$A$ cylinder with a movable piston contains air under a pressure $p_1$ and a soap bubble of radius $r$. The pressure $p_2$ to which the air should be compressed by slowly pushing the piston into the cylinder for the soap bubble to reduce its size by half will be: (The surface tension is $\sigma$, and the temperature $T$ is maintained constant)

  • A
    $8p_1 + \frac{24\sigma}{r}$
  • B
    $4p_1 + \frac{24\sigma}{r}$
  • C
    $2p_1 + \frac{24\sigma}{r}$
  • D
    $2p_1 + \frac{12\sigma}{r}$

Two long parallel glass plates have water between them. The contact angle between glass and water is zero. If the separation between the plates is $d$ (where $d$ is small) and the surface tension of water is $T$,with atmospheric pressure $P_0$,then what is the pressure inside the water just below the air-water interface?
