In a cylinder provided with a piston, air is under pressure $P_1$ at a constant temperature $t$. $A$ soap bubble with radius $r$ and surface tension $T$ is lying inside the cylinder. To reduce the radius of the soap bubble to half, the required air pressure inside the cylinder is

  • A
    $8 P_1 + \frac{24 T}{r}$
  • B
    $8 P_1 + \frac{3 T}{r}$
  • C
    $8 P_1 + \frac{2 T}{r}$
  • D
    $8 P_1 + \frac{12 T}{r}$

Two soap bubbles combine to form a single bubble. In this process,the change in volume and surface area are respectively $V$ and $A$. If $P$ is the atmospheric pressure,and $T$ is the surface tension of the soap solution,the following relation is true :

$A$ drop of water with a volume of $0.05 \ cm^3$ is pressed between two glass plates,causing it to spread between the plates. The area of contact with each plate is $40 \ cm^2$. If the surface tension of water is $70 \ dyne/cm$,the minimum normal force required to separate the two glass plates in newtons is approximately: (assuming the angle of contact is zero)
