An air bubble of radius $1 \ mm$ is at a depth of $8 \ cm$ below the free surface of a liquid column. If the surface tension and density of the liquid are $0.1 \ N \ m^{-1}$ and $2000 \ kg \ m^{-3}$ respectively,by what amount is the pressure inside the bubble greater than the atmospheric pressure (in $N \ m^{-2}$)? (Take $g = 10 \ m \ s^{-2}$)

An air bubble of radius $r$ in water is at depth $h$ below the water surface. If $P$ is the atmospheric pressure, and $d$ and $T$ are the density and surface tension of water respectively, then the pressure inside the bubble will be:

$A$ drop of water of volume $0.05\, cm^3$ is pressed between two glass plates,as a consequence of which it spreads and occupies an area of $40\, cm^2$. If the surface tension of water is $70\, dyne/cm$,then the normal force required to separate out the two glass plates will be in Newton.

The radius of a soap bubble is $r$ and the surface tension of the soap solution is $S$. The electric potential to which the soap bubble must be raised by charging it so that the pressure inside the bubble becomes equal to the pressure outside the bubble is $(\varepsilon_0 = \text{permittivity of the free space})$
