Excess Pressure and coalesce of Bubble and drop Questions in English

(NONE) Let the charge on the big bubble be $Q$ and its radius be $R$. The charge density is $\sigma = \frac{Q}{4\pi R^2}$.
The mechanical force per unit area (electrostatic pressure) on a charged bubble is given by $P = \frac{\sigma^2}{2\epsilon_0} = \frac{Q^2}{2\epsilon_0 (4\pi R^2)^2} = \frac{Q^2}{32\pi^2 \epsilon_0 R^4}$.
When the bubble breaks into $64$ small bubbles,the volume is conserved: $\frac{4}{3}\pi R^3 = 64 \times \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3$,which gives $R^3 = 64r^3$,so $R = 4r$.
The total charge $Q$ is conserved,so each small bubble has charge $q = \frac{Q}{64}$.
The electrostatic pressure on a small bubble is $p = \frac{q^2}{32\pi^2 \epsilon_0 r^4} = \frac{(Q/64)^2}{32\pi^2 \epsilon_0 (R/4)^4} = \frac{Q^2 / 64^2}{32\pi^2 \epsilon_0 (R^4 / 256)} = \frac{Q^2}{32\pi^2 \epsilon_0 R^4} \times \frac{256}{4096} = P \times \frac{1}{16}$.
Therefore,the ratio of the mechanical force per unit area of the big bubble to that of a small bubble is $P/p = 16:1$.

(D) The excess pressure inside a soap bubble of radius $R$ is given by $P = 4T/R$,where $T$ is the surface tension.
Let $R_1$ and $R_2$ be the radii of the first and second soap bubbles,respectively.
Given that the excess pressure in the first bubble is $1.5$ times the excess pressure in the second bubble:
$P_1 = 1.5 P_2$
$\frac{4T}{R_1} = 1.5 \times \frac{4T}{R_2}$
$\frac{1}{R_1} = \frac{3}{2R_2} \implies R_2 = 1.5 R_1 = \frac{3}{2} R_1$
The volume of a soap bubble is $V = \frac{4}{3} \pi R^3$.
$V_1 = \frac{4}{3} \pi R_1^3$ and $V_2 = \frac{4}{3} \pi R_2^3$.
Given $V_2 = x V_1$,we have:
$x = \frac{V_2}{V_1} = \left( \frac{R_2}{R_1} \right)^3 = \left( \frac{3}{2} \right)^3 = \frac{27}{8}$.

(A) The volume of the large drop is equal to the sum of the volumes of the $n$ small droplets: $\frac{4}{3} \pi R^3 = n \cdot \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3$,which implies $R^3 = n r^3$ or $n = \frac{R^3}{r^3}$.
The initial surface area of the large drop is $A_i = 4 \pi R^2$.
The final surface area of the $n$ small droplets is $A_f = n \cdot 4 \pi r^2$.
The change in surface area is $\Delta A = A_f - A_i = n(4 \pi r^2) - 4 \pi R^2$.
Substituting $n = \frac{R^3}{r^3}$,we get $\Delta A = \left(\frac{R^3}{r^3}\right) 4 \pi r^2 - 4 \pi R^2 = 4 \pi R^3 \left(\frac{1}{r}\right) - 4 \pi R^2 = 4 \pi R^2 \left(\frac{R}{r} - 1\right)$.
The energy required is $W = T \cdot \Delta A = 4 \pi T R^2 \left(\frac{R}{r} - 1\right)$.

(C) The excess pressure inside a soap bubble of radius $r$ is given by $P = \frac{4T}{r}$,where $T$ is the surface tension.
Given that the excess pressure of the first bubble $(P_1)$ is three times that of the second bubble $(P_2)$,we have $P_1 = 3P_2$.
Substituting the formula for excess pressure: $\frac{4T}{r_1} = 3 \times \frac{4T}{r_2}$.
This simplifies to $\frac{1}{r_1} = \frac{3}{r_2}$,which means $r_2 = 3r_1$ or $\frac{r_1}{r_2} = \frac{1}{3}$.
The volume of a spherical bubble is $V = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3$.
The ratio of the volumes is $\frac{V_1}{V_2} = \frac{\frac{4}{3}\pi r_1^3}{\frac{4}{3}\pi r_2^3} = \left(\frac{r_1}{r_2}\right)^3$.
Substituting the ratio of radii: $\frac{V_1}{V_2} = \left(\frac{1}{3}\right)^3 = \frac{1}{27}$.
Thus,the ratio of the volumes is $1: 27$.

(D) The volume of the large drop is equal to the total volume of the $216$ small droplets.
$V_{large} = 216 \times V_{small}$
$\frac{4}{3} \pi R^3 = 216 \times \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3$
$R^3 = 216 r^3$
$R = 6r \implies r = \frac{R}{6}$
The energy needed is equal to the increase in surface area multiplied by the surface tension $T$.
$E = T \times (A_{final} - A_{initial})$
$A_{initial} = 4 \pi R^2$
$A_{final} = 216 \times (4 \pi r^2) = 216 \times 4 \pi \left(\frac{R}{6}\right)^2 = 216 \times 4 \pi \times \frac{R^2}{36} = 6 \times 4 \pi R^2 = 24 \pi R^2$
$E = T \times (24 \pi R^2 - 4 \pi R^2) = T \times 20 \pi R^2$
Comparing this with $x \times T \times R^2$, we get $x = 20 \pi$.

(A) When three mercury drops of radii $R_1, R_2$ and $R_3$ combine to form a single large drop of radius $R$,the total volume remains conserved because the density of mercury is constant.
The volume of a sphere is given by $V = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3$.
Equating the sum of the volumes of the three small drops to the volume of the large drop:
$\frac{4}{3}\pi R_1^3 + \frac{4}{3}\pi R_2^3 + \frac{4}{3}\pi R_3^3 = \frac{4}{3}\pi R^3$
Dividing both sides by $\frac{4}{3}\pi$,we get:
$R_1^3 + R_2^3 + R_3^3 = R^3$
Taking the cube root on both sides:
$R = (R_1^3 + R_2^3 + R_3^3)^{\frac{1}{3}}$
Thus,the correct option is $A$.

(C) For a soap bubble,the surface area is $A = 4\pi r^2$. Since a soap bubble has two surfaces (inner and outer),the total surface area is $8\pi r^2$.
Under isothermal conditions,the amount of air (number of moles) remains constant. Using the ideal gas law $PV = nRT$,where $P$ is the pressure inside the bubble,$V$ is the volume,and $T$ is constant.
The pressure inside a soap bubble of radius $r$ is $P = P_0 + \frac{4S}{r}$,where $P_0$ is the atmospheric pressure and $S$ is the surface tension.
The volume is $V = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3$.
Thus,$n = \frac{PV}{RT} = \frac{(P_0 + 4S/r)(4/3 \pi r^3)}{RT} = \frac{4\pi}{3RT} (P_0 r^3 + 4Sr^2)$.
Since the total number of moles is conserved: $n_1 + n_2 = n_{final}$.
Assuming $P_0$ is very large compared to the excess pressure,the volume remains constant: $\frac{4}{3}\pi r_1^3 + \frac{4}{3}\pi r_2^3 = \frac{4}{3}\pi R^3$,which gives $R = (r_1^3 + r_2^3)^{1/3}$.
However,in standard physics problems of this type where surface area energy is considered or if the pressure is dominated by surface tension,the surface area is conserved: $8\pi r_1^2 + 8\pi r_2^2 = 8\pi R^2$.
Therefore,$R^2 = r_1^2 + r_2^2$,which implies $R = (r_1^2 + r_2^2)^{1/2}$.

(C) Let the radius of the large drop be $R$ and the radius of each small droplet be $r$. Since the volume remains constant, the volume of the large drop equals the sum of the volumes of $64$ small droplets: $\frac{4}{3} \pi R^3 = 64 \times \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3$.
Solving for $r$, we get $R^3 = 64r^3$, which implies $r = \frac{R}{4}$.
The work done $W$ is equal to the change in surface energy: $W = T \times \Delta A$, where $\Delta A$ is the increase in surface area.
Initial surface area $A_i = 4 \pi R^2$.
Final surface area $A_f = 64 \times (4 \pi r^2) = 64 \times 4 \pi (\frac{R}{4})^2 = 64 \times 4 \pi \times \frac{R^2}{16} = 16 \pi R^2$.
Change in area $\Delta A = A_f - A_i = 16 \pi R^2 - 4 \pi R^2 = 12 \pi R^2$.
Therefore, the work done $W = T \times 12 \pi R^2 = 12 \pi TR^2$.

(A) Let $R$ be the radius of the original drop and $r$ be the radius of each small drop.
Since the volume remains constant,the volume of the original drop equals the sum of the volumes of the $729$ small drops:
$\frac{4}{3} \pi R^3 = 729 \times \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3$
$R^3 = 729 r^3$
$R = 9r$ or $r = \frac{R}{9}$.
The surface energy $E$ of the original drop is $E = T \times 4 \pi R^2$,where $T$ is the surface tension.
The total surface energy $U$ of the $729$ small drops is $U = 729 \times (T \times 4 \pi r^2)$.
Substituting $r = \frac{R}{9}$ into the expression for $U$:
$U = 729 \times T \times 4 \pi \left(\frac{R}{9}\right)^2$
$U = 729 \times T \times 4 \pi \times \frac{R^2}{81}$
$U = 9 \times (T \times 4 \pi R^2) = 9E$.
Therefore,$\frac{E}{U} = \frac{E}{9E} = \frac{1}{9}$.
Comparing this with $\frac{E}{U} = \frac{1}{x}$,we get $x = 9$.

(B) Outside pressure $P_0 = 1 \text{ atm}$.
Pressure inside soap bubble $A$,$P_A = 1.01 \text{ atm}$.
Pressure inside soap bubble $B$,$P_B = 1.02 \text{ atm}$.
Excess pressure in a soap bubble is given by $\Delta P = \frac{4T}{r}$,where $T$ is surface tension and $r$ is the radius.
Excess pressure for bubble $A$: $\Delta P_A = P_A - P_0 = 1.01 - 1 = 0.01 \text{ atm}$.
Excess pressure for bubble $B$: $\Delta P_B = P_B - P_0 = 1.02 - 1 = 0.02 \text{ atm}$.
Since $\Delta P \propto \frac{1}{r}$,we have $r \propto \frac{1}{\Delta P}$.
Therefore,$\frac{r_A}{r_B} = \frac{\Delta P_B}{\Delta P_A} = \frac{0.02}{0.01} = \frac{2}{1}$.
The volume $V$ of a sphere is given by $V = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3$,so $V \propto r^3$.
Thus,the ratio of volumes is $\frac{V_A}{V_B} = \left(\frac{r_A}{r_B}\right)^3 = \left(\frac{2}{1}\right)^3 = \frac{8}{1}$.

(A) Outside pressure $P_0 = 1 \,atm$.
Excess pressure inside a soap bubble is given by $\Delta P = \frac{4T}{r}$, where $T$ is surface tension and $r$ is the radius.
Excess pressure for bubble $A$: $\Delta P_A = P_A - P_0 = 1.01 - 1 = 0.01 \,atm$.
Excess pressure for bubble $B$: $\Delta P_B = P_B - P_0 = 1.02 - 1 = 0.02 \,atm$.
Since $\Delta P \propto \frac{1}{r}$, we have $r \propto \frac{1}{\Delta P}$.
Therefore, the ratio of radii is $\frac{r_A}{r_B} = \frac{\Delta P_B}{\Delta P_A} = \frac{0.02}{0.01} = \frac{2}{1}$.

(C) Outside pressure $P_0 = 1 \text{ atm}$.
Pressure inside bubble $A$ is $P_A = 1.01 \text{ atm}$.
Pressure inside bubble $B$ is $P_B = 1.02 \text{ atm}$.
The excess pressure in a soap bubble is given by $\Delta P = \frac{4T}{r}$,where $T$ is surface tension and $r$ is the radius.
Excess pressure for bubble $A$: $\Delta P_A = P_A - P_0 = 1.01 - 1 = 0.01 \text{ atm}$.
Excess pressure for bubble $B$: $\Delta P_B = P_B - P_0 = 1.02 - 1 = 0.02 \text{ atm}$.
Since $\Delta P \propto \frac{1}{r}$,we have $r \propto \frac{1}{\Delta P}$.
Therefore,the ratio of radii is $\frac{r_A}{r_B} = \frac{\Delta P_B}{\Delta P_A} = \frac{0.02}{0.01} = 2$.
The volume of a sphere is $V = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3$,so $V \propto r^3$.
The ratio of volumes is $\frac{V_A}{V_B} = \left(\frac{r_A}{r_B}\right)^3 = (2)^3 = 8$.
Thus,the ratio is $8:1$.

(D) The excess pressure inside a spherical drop of radius $r$ is given by $P = \frac{2T}{r}$,where $T$ is the surface tension.
For drop $A$,$P_A = \frac{2T}{r_A}$.
For drop $B$,$P_B = \frac{2T}{r_B}$.
Given that $P_A = 4P_B$,we have $\frac{2T}{r_A} = 4 \left( \frac{2T}{r_B} \right)$.
This simplifies to $\frac{1}{r_A} = \frac{4}{r_B}$,or $\frac{r_A}{r_B} = \frac{1}{4}$.
The mass of a drop is given by $m = V \rho = \left( \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3 \right) \rho$.
Since both are water drops,the density $\rho$ is the same.
Therefore,the ratio of masses is $\frac{m_A}{m_B} = \frac{r_A^3}{r_B^3} = \left( \frac{r_A}{r_B} \right)^3$.
Substituting the ratio of radii,$\frac{m_A}{m_B} = \left( \frac{1}{4} \right)^3 = \frac{1}{64}$.

(B) Given the radius of the large drop is $R$. Let $r$ be the radius of each smaller droplet. Since the total volume remains constant:
$\frac{4}{3} \pi R^3 = 64 \times \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3$
$\therefore r^3 = \frac{R^3}{64} \implies r = \frac{R}{4}$
Initial surface energy $E_1 = 4 \pi R^2 T$.
Final surface energy $E_2 = 64 \times (4 \pi r^2 T) = 64 \times 4 \pi \times (\frac{R}{4})^2 \times T = 64 \times 4 \pi \times \frac{R^2}{16} \times T = 16 \pi R^2 T$.
Work done $W = E_2 - E_1 = 16 \pi R^2 T - 4 \pi R^2 T = 12 \pi R^2 T$.

(C) Let $r$ be the radius of each small drop and $R$ be the radius of the big single drop.
Since the total volume remains constant,$n \times \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3 = \frac{4}{3} \pi R^3$.
Therefore,$R = n^{1/3} r$ ... $(i)$.
Initial surface energy,$E_1 = n \times (4 \pi r^2 T) = nE$ (where $T$ is surface tension).
Final surface energy,$E_2 = 4 \pi R^2 T = 4 \pi (n^{1/3} r)^2 T = n^{2/3} (4 \pi r^2 T) = n^{2/3} E$.
Energy released = $E_1 - E_2 = nE - n^{2/3} E = E(n - n^{2/3})$.

(C) The excess pressure inside a soap bubble of radius $R$ is given by $\Delta P = P_i - P_0 = \frac{4T}{R}$,where $T$ is the surface tension of the soap solution.
From this,we can see that $(P_i - P_0) \propto \frac{1}{R}$,which implies $R \propto \frac{1}{(P_i - P_0)}$.
For the two bubbles,we have the ratio of radii as $\frac{r_1}{r_2} = \frac{(P_2 - P_0)}{(P_1 - P_0)}$.
The volume $V$ of a spherical bubble is given by $V = \frac{4}{3} \pi R^3$,so $V \propto R^3$.
Therefore,the ratio of their volumes is $\frac{V_1}{V_2} = \left( \frac{r_1}{r_2} \right)^3$.
Substituting the ratio of radii,we get $\frac{V_1}{V_2} = \left( \frac{P_2 - P_0}{P_1 - P_0} \right)^3$.

(B) Let $R$ be the radius of the big drop and $r$ be the radius of each smaller droplet.
Volume of $8$ smaller drops $=$ Volume of the big drop.
$8 \times \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3 = \frac{4}{3} \pi R^3$
$8r^3 = R^3 \Rightarrow R = 2r$ or $r = \frac{R}{2}$.
Excess pressure inside a drop is given by $\Delta P = \frac{2T}{r}$,where $T$ is the surface tension.
For the big drop,$\Delta P_B = \frac{2T}{R}$.
For the smaller droplet,$\Delta P_s = \frac{2T}{r}$.
Taking the ratio: $\frac{\Delta P_B}{\Delta P_s} = \frac{r}{R} = \frac{r}{2r} = \frac{1}{2}$.
Therefore,$\Delta P_B = \frac{1}{2} \Delta P_s$.

(D) The excess pressure $\Delta P$ inside a soap bubble of radius $r$ is given by $\Delta P = \frac{4T}{r}$,where $T$ is the surface tension of the soap solution.
From this,we see that $\Delta P \propto \frac{1}{r}$.
Let the excess pressure in the first bubble be $\Delta P_1$ and in the second bubble be $\Delta P_2$. Given $\Delta P_1 = 3 \Delta P_2$.
Therefore,$\frac{\Delta P_1}{\Delta P_2} = 3$.
Since $\frac{\Delta P_1}{\Delta P_2} = \frac{r_2}{r_1}$,we have $\frac{r_2}{r_1} = 3$,which implies $\frac{r_1}{r_2} = \frac{1}{3}$.
The volume $V$ of a spherical bubble is given by $V = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3$,so $V \propto r^3$.
The ratio of the volumes is $\frac{V_1}{V_2} = \left( \frac{r_1}{r_2} \right)^3$.
Substituting the ratio of radii,$\frac{V_1}{V_2} = \left( \frac{1}{3} \right)^3 = \frac{1}{27}$.

(B) The volume of the original drop is equal to the sum of the volumes of the $n$ smaller droplets.
Let $r$ be the radius of each small droplet.
$n \cdot \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3 = \frac{4}{3} \pi R^3$
$r^3 = \frac{R^3}{n} \implies r = \frac{R}{n^{1/3}}$
Work done $W$ is equal to the change in surface area multiplied by the surface tension $T$.
$W = (A_{\text{final}} - A_{\text{initial}}) T$
$W = (n \cdot 4 \pi r^2 - 4 \pi R^2) T$
Substitute $r = R \cdot n^{-1/3}$:
$W = (n \cdot 4 \pi (R \cdot n^{-1/3})^2 - 4 \pi R^2) T$
$W = (4 \pi R^2 \cdot n \cdot n^{-2/3} - 4 \pi R^2) T$
$W = 4 \pi R^2 (n^{1/3} - 1) T$

(D) The excess pressure inside a spherical drop of radius $r$ and surface tension $T$ is given by $P = \frac{2T}{r}$.
Let $r_1$ and $r_2$ be the radii of the first and second drops,respectively.
Given that the excess pressure in the first drop is three times that of the second drop: $P_1 = 3P_2$.
Substituting the formula: $\frac{2T}{r_1} = 3 \left( \frac{2T}{r_2} \right)$.
This simplifies to $\frac{1}{r_1} = \frac{3}{r_2}$,which means $\frac{r_1}{r_2} = \frac{1}{3}$.
The mass of a drop is given by $m = V \rho = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3 \rho$,where $\rho$ is the density of water.
Since both drops are of water,the density $\rho$ is the same for both.
Therefore,the ratio of the masses is $\frac{m_1}{m_2} = \frac{\frac{4}{3} \pi r_1^3 \rho}{\frac{4}{3} \pi r_2^3 \rho} = \left( \frac{r_1}{r_2} \right)^3$.
Substituting the ratio of radii: $\frac{m_1}{m_2} = \left( \frac{1}{3} \right)^3 = \frac{1}{27}$.

(A) Let $R$ be the radius of the large coalesced drop.
Since the total volume remains constant:
$\frac{4}{3} \pi R^3 = 8 \times \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3$
$R^3 = 8r^3$
$R = 2r$
Surface energy $E$ is given by $E = T \times A$,where $T$ is surface tension and $A$ is the surface area.
Initial surface energy $E_1 = 8 \times (T \times 4 \pi r^2) = 32 \pi r^2 T$.
Final surface energy $E_2 = T \times 4 \pi R^2 = T \times 4 \pi (2r)^2 = 16 \pi r^2 T$.
The ratio of total surface energy before and after the change is:
$\frac{E_1}{E_2} = \frac{32 \pi r^2 T}{16 \pi r^2 T} = \frac{2}{1}$.
Thus,the ratio is $2: 1$.

(C) Let $n$ be the number of small droplets of radius $r$ that combine to form a large drop of radius $R$. Since the total volume remains constant,we have:
$n \cdot \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3 = \frac{4}{3} \pi R^3 \implies n = \frac{R^3}{r^3}$.
The decrease in surface area $\Delta A$ is given by:
$\Delta A = n(4 \pi r^2) - 4 \pi R^2 = 4 \pi (n r^2 - R^2) = 4 \pi \left(\frac{R^3}{r^3} \cdot r^2 - R^2\right) = 4 \pi R^3 \left(\frac{1}{r} - \frac{1}{R}\right)$.
The energy released $W$ due to the decrease in surface area is $W = T \cdot \Delta A = 4 \pi R^3 T \left(\frac{1}{r} - \frac{1}{R}\right)$.
This energy is converted into heat $Q = \frac{W}{J} = \frac{4 \pi R^3 T}{J} \left(\frac{1}{r} - \frac{1}{R}\right)$.
Also,the heat produced is $Q = m \cdot s \cdot \Delta \theta$,where $m$ is the mass of the large drop,$s$ is the specific heat of water,and $\Delta \theta$ is the rise in temperature.
$m = \rho \cdot V = \rho \cdot \frac{4}{3} \pi R^3$.
Equating the two expressions for $Q$:
$\rho \cdot \frac{4}{3} \pi R^3 \cdot s \cdot \Delta \theta = \frac{4 \pi R^3 T}{J} \left(\frac{1}{r} - \frac{1}{R}\right)$.
Solving for $\Delta \theta$:
$\Delta \theta = \frac{3T}{\rho s J} \left(\frac{1}{r} - \frac{1}{R}\right)$.
Assuming the question implies the rise in temperature per unit density and specific heat (or that $\rho s = 1$ in the given context),the correct expression matches option $C$.

(C) Since the process is isothermal,the number of moles of air inside the bubbles remains constant. The pressure inside a soap bubble of radius $r$ is given by $P = \frac{4T}{r}$,where $T$ is the surface tension.
Using the ideal gas law $PV = nRT$,and noting that $T$ and $R$ are constant,we have $PV \propto n$. Since $n$ is conserved,the sum of the products of pressure and volume for the two bubbles equals the product of pressure and volume for the final bubble:
$P_1 V_1 + P_2 V_2 = P_3 V_3$
Substituting $P = \frac{4T}{r}$ and $V = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3$:
$\left(\frac{4T}{a}\right) \left(\frac{4}{3}\pi a^3\right) + \left(\frac{4T}{b}\right) \left(\frac{4}{3}\pi b^3\right) = \left(\frac{4T}{c}\right) \left(\frac{4}{3}\pi c^3\right)$
Simplifying the equation:
$a^2 + b^2 = c^2$
Therefore,the radius of the resulting bubble is $c = \sqrt{a^2 + b^2}$.

(A) In an isothermal process,the temperature $T$ is constant. The pressure inside a soap bubble is $P = P_0 + \frac{4\sigma}{r}$,where $P_0$ is the external pressure. In a vacuum,$P_0 = 0$,so $P = \frac{4\sigma}{r}$.
For an isothermal process,the number of moles of gas $n$ is given by $n = \frac{PV}{RT}$.
Substituting $P = \frac{4\sigma}{r}$ and $V = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3$:
$n = \frac{(4\sigma/r) \cdot (4/3)\pi r^3}{RT} = \frac{16\pi\sigma}{3RT} r^2$.
Since $n \propto r^2$,when two bubbles coalesce,the total number of moles is conserved:
$n_{total} = n_1 + n_2 \implies R^2 = r_1^2 + r_2^2$.
Therefore,the radius of the resulting bubble is $R = \sqrt{r_1^2 + r_2^2}$.

(C) The excess pressure inside a soap bubble is given by $P = \frac{4T}{r}$, where $T$ is the surface tension and $r$ is the radius of the bubble, because a soap bubble has two liquid-gas interfaces.
The pressure exerted by a water column of height $h$ is given by $P = \rho h g$.
Given that the excess pressure is equal to the pressure of the water column, we have $\frac{4T}{r} = \rho h g$.
Rearranging for surface tension $T$, we get $T = \frac{r \rho h g}{4}$.
Substituting the given values: $r = 3 \,mm = 3 \times 10^{-3} \,m$, $h = 0.8 \,cm = 8 \times 10^{-3} \,m$, $\rho = 1000 \,kg/m^3$, and $g = 9.8 \,m/s^2$.
$T = \frac{(3 \times 10^{-3} \,m) \times (1000 \,kg/m^3) \times (8 \times 10^{-3} \,m) \times (9.8 \,m/s^2)}{4}$.
$T = \frac{3 \times 10^{-3} \times 10^3 \times 8 \times 10^{-3} \times 9.8}{4} \,N/m$.
$T = \frac{3 \times 8 \times 10^{-3} \times 9.8}{4} \,N/m = 6 \times 9.8 \times 10^{-3} \,N/m = 58.8 \times 10^{-3} \,N/m$.

(A) Consider complete wetting of the glass plates by the liquid.
The pressure difference (Laplace pressure) across the curved surface of the liquid is given by $\Delta P = \frac{T}{R}$,where $R$ is the radius of curvature of the meniscus.
This pressure difference creates an attractive force between the plates,given by $F = \Delta P \cdot A = \frac{T}{R} \cdot A$,so $\frac{T}{R} = \frac{F}{A} \quad \dots(1)$
Assuming the liquid forms a thin cylindrical layer of thickness $d$ and area $A$,the volume $V$ is given by $V = A \cdot d$.
For a meniscus with radius of curvature $R$,the thickness of the layer is $d = 2R$,so $V = A(2R)$.
Thus,$R = \frac{V}{2A} \quad \dots(2)$
Substituting equation $(2)$ into equation $(1)$:
$\frac{T}{(V / 2A)} = \frac{F}{A}$
$T = \frac{F \cdot V}{2A^2}$

(C) The change in surface energy is given by $E = T(\Delta A)$,where $\Delta A$ is the change in surface area.
Initial surface area $A_i = n(4\pi r^2)$ and final surface area $A_f = 4\pi R^2$.
Since volume is conserved,$n(\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3) = \frac{4}{3}\pi R^3$,which implies $n = \frac{R^3}{r^3}$.
The change in surface area is $\Delta A = A_i - A_f = 4\pi(nr^2 - R^2)$.
Substituting $n = \frac{R^3}{r^3}$,we get $\Delta A = 4\pi(\frac{R^3}{r} - R^2) = 4\pi R^3(\frac{1}{r} - \frac{1}{R})$.
Since $V = \frac{4}{3}\pi R^3$,we have $4\pi R^3 = 3V$.
Thus,$\Delta A = 3V(\frac{1}{r} - \frac{1}{R})$.
Since $r < R$,$\Delta A > 0$ represents a decrease in surface area,meaning energy is released.
Therefore,$E = 3VT(\frac{1}{r} - \frac{1}{R})$ is released.

(D) The excess pressure inside a liquid drop of radius $r$ is given by $P = \frac{2\sigma}{r}$.
Given that for a smaller drop, the excess pressure is $P_s = \frac{2\sigma}{r} = 9$ units.
When $27$ smaller drops combine to form a bigger drop of radius $R$, the volume remains conserved:
$V_{big} = 27 \times V_{small}$
$\frac{4}{3} \pi R^3 = 27 \times \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3$
$R^3 = 27r^3 \implies R = 3r$.
The excess pressure inside the bigger drop is $P_B = \frac{2\sigma}{R}$.
Substituting $R = 3r$:
$P_B = \frac{2\sigma}{3r} = \frac{1}{3} \left( \frac{2\sigma}{r} \right) = \frac{1}{3} \times 9 = 3$ units.

(A) Given:
Excess pressure,$\Delta P = 50 \ dyne/cm^2$
Radius,$r = 2 \ cm$
For a soap bubble,the liquid-air interface is crossed two times,so the excess pressure is given by the formula:
$\Delta P = \frac{4T}{r}$,where $T$ is the surface tension.
Rearranging the formula to solve for $T$:
$T = \frac{\Delta P \times r}{4}$
Substituting the given values:
$T = \frac{50 \ dyne/cm^2 \times 2 \ cm}{4} = \frac{100}{4} \ dyne/cm = 25 \ dyne/cm$

(D) Since the process occurs under isothermal conditions and the total mass of the mercury remains constant,the total volume of the two drops must be equal to the volume of the single large drop formed.
Let the volume of the first drop be $V_1 = \frac{4}{3} \pi R_1^3$ and the volume of the second drop be $V_2 = \frac{4}{3} \pi R_2^3$.
The volume of the resulting large drop is $V = \frac{4}{3} \pi R^3$.
By the principle of conservation of volume: $V = V_1 + V_2$.
Substituting the expressions: $\frac{4}{3} \pi R^3 = \frac{4}{3} \pi R_1^3 + \frac{4}{3} \pi R_2^3$.
Dividing both sides by $\frac{4}{3} \pi$,we get: $R^3 = R_1^3 + R_2^3$.

(B) The excess pressure inside a water drop is given by the formula: $P = \frac{2T}{R}$,where $T$ is the surface tension and $R$ is the radius of the drop.
Given:
Excess pressure $P = 72 \ Nm^{-2}$
Surface tension $T = 7.2 \times 10^{-2} \ Nm^{-1}$
Substituting the values into the formula:
$72 = \frac{2 \times 7.2 \times 10^{-2}}{R}$
$R = \frac{2 \times 7.2 \times 10^{-2}}{72}$
$R = \frac{14.4 \times 10^{-2}}{72}$
$R = 0.2 \times 10^{-2} \ m = 2 \times 10^{-3} \ m$
Since $1 \ mm = 10^{-3} \ m$,we have $R = 2 \ mm$.

(B) When two mercury drops combine to form a single larger drop,the total volume of the mercury remains conserved.
Let $R$ be the radius of the resultant big drop.
The volume of the first drop is $V_1 = \frac{4}{3} \pi R_1^3$.
The volume of the second drop is $V_2 = \frac{4}{3} \pi R_2^3$.
The volume of the resultant drop is $V = \frac{4}{3} \pi R^3$.
Since the total volume is conserved,$V = V_1 + V_2$.
$\frac{4}{3} \pi R^3 = \frac{4}{3} \pi R_1^3 + \frac{4}{3} \pi R_2^3$.
Dividing both sides by $\frac{4}{3} \pi$,we get $R^3 = R_1^3 + R_2^3$.
Therefore,the radius of the resultant drop is $R = (R_1^3 + R_2^3)^{1/3}$.

(B) The excess pressure inside a soap bubble of radius $R$ is given by the formula $P_{excess} = \frac{4T}{R}$, where $T$ is the surface tension of the soap solution.
Since the total pressure inside the bubble is $P_{in} = P_{atm} + P_{excess} = P_{atm} + \frac{4T}{R}$, it is clear that the pressure inside the bubble is inversely proportional to its radius $R$.
When the radius increases from $R$ to $2R$, the excess pressure decreases.
Therefore, the total pressure inside the bubble decreases.

(B) Let $R$ be the radius of the big drop and $r$ be the radius of each smaller droplet.
Since the volume remains constant:
$8 \times \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3 = \frac{4}{3} \pi R^3$
$8r^3 = R^3$
$2r = R \implies r = \frac{R}{2}$
Excess pressure inside a drop is given by $\Delta P = \frac{2T}{r}$,where $T$ is surface tension.
For the smaller droplet: $\Delta P_{S} = \frac{2T}{r}$
For the bigger drop: $\Delta P_{B} = \frac{2T}{R}$
Taking the ratio:
$\frac{\Delta P_{B}}{\Delta P_{S}} = \frac{2T/R}{2T/r} = \frac{r}{R}$
Substituting $r = \frac{R}{2}$:
$\frac{\Delta P_{B}}{\Delta P_{S}} = \frac{R/2}{R} = \frac{1}{2}$
Therefore,$\Delta P_{B} = \frac{1}{2} \Delta P_{S}$.

(C) For a soap bubble, the excess pressure is $\Delta P = \frac{4T}{r}$. The total pressure inside is $P_{in} = P + \frac{4T}{r}$.
Under isothermal conditions, the number of moles of air $n$ is conserved, and $PV = nR_g\theta$ (where $R_g$ is the gas constant).
For bubble $1$: $(P + \frac{4T}{r_1}) \cdot \frac{4}{3}\pi r_1^3 = n_1 R_g \theta$.
For bubble $2$: $(P + \frac{4T}{r_2}) \cdot \frac{4}{3}\pi r_2^3 = n_2 R_g \theta$.
For the combined bubble: $(P + \frac{4T}{R}) \cdot \frac{4}{3}\pi R^3 = (n_1 + n_2) R_g \theta$.
Substituting the expressions for $n_1$ and $n_2$:
$(P + \frac{4T}{R}) R^3 = (P + \frac{4T}{r_1}) r_1^3 + (P + \frac{4T}{r_2}) r_2^3$.
$PR^3 + 4TR^2 = Pr_1^3 + 4Tr_1^2 + Pr_2^3 + 4Tr_2^2$.
$P(R^3 - r_1^3 - r_2^3) = 4T(r_1^2 + r_2^2 - R^2)$.
$T = \frac{P(R^3 - r_1^3 - r_2^3)}{4(r_1^2 + r_2^2 - R^2)}$.

(A) Given,edge of the cube $x = 1 \ cm$.
Volume of the cube $V = x^3 = (1 \ cm)^3 = 1 \ cm^3$.
Since the ice melts in a gravity-free container,the water forms a spherical drop.
Volume of the spherical drop = Volume of the cube = $1 \ cm^3$.
Let $r$ be the radius of the spherical drop.
$\frac{4}{3} \pi r^3 = 1 \implies r^3 = \frac{3}{4 \pi} \implies r = \left(\frac{3}{4 \pi}\right)^{1/3}$.
Surface area of the spherical drop $A = 4 \pi r^2$.
$A = 4 \pi \left(\frac{3}{4 \pi}\right)^{2/3} = 4 \pi \frac{3^{2/3}}{(4 \pi)^{2/3}}$.
$A = (4 \pi)^{1 - 2/3} \times 3^{2/3} \times 4^{2/3} / 4^{2/3} \text{ (simplifying powers)} = (4 \pi)^{1/3} \times (3^2)^{1/3} = (4 \pi \times 9)^{1/3} = (36 \pi)^{1/3} \ cm^2$.

(B) The excess pressure inside a soap bubble is given by $\Delta P = P_{i} - P_{0} = \frac{4T}{r}$.
Given $P_{0} = 1 \, atm$, the excess pressures are:
$\Delta P_{1} = 1.01 \, atm - 1 \, atm = 0.01 \, atm$
$\Delta P_{2} = 1.03 \, atm - 1 \, atm = 0.03 \, atm$
Since $\Delta P \propto \frac{1}{r}$, we have $\frac{\Delta P_{1}}{\Delta P_{2}} = \frac{r_{2}}{r_{1}}$.
Substituting the values: $\frac{r_{2}}{r_{1}} = \frac{0.03}{0.01} = 3$.
The ratio of the volumes is $\frac{V_{1}}{V_{2}} = \frac{\frac{4}{3}\pi r_{1}^{3}}{\frac{4}{3}\pi r_{2}^{3}} = \left(\frac{r_{1}}{r_{2}}\right)^{3}$.
Since $\frac{r_{2}}{r_{1}} = 3$, then $\frac{r_{1}}{r_{2}} = \frac{1}{3}$.
Therefore, $\frac{V_{1}}{V_{2}} = \left(\frac{1}{3}\right)^{3} = \frac{1}{27}$.
Thus, the ratio of their volumes $V_{1}:V_{2}$ is $1:27$, or $V_{2}:V_{1}$ is $27:1$.

(A) Let the radius of the large drop be $R'$. Since the volume remains constant,the volume of the large drop equals the sum of the volumes of the two small drops:
$\frac{4}{3} \pi R'^3 = 2 \times \frac{4}{3} \pi R^3$
$R'^3 = 2 R^3 \implies R' = 2^{1/3} R$
Total surface energy before $(E_i)$ = $2 \times (4 \pi R^2 T)$,where $T$ is the surface tension.
Total surface energy after $(E_f)$ = $4 \pi R'^2 T$.
The ratio of surface energies is $\frac{E_i}{E_f} = \frac{2 \times 4 \pi R^2 T}{4 \pi R'^2 T} = \frac{2 R^2}{R'^2}$.
Substituting $R' = 2^{1/3} R$:
Ratio = $\frac{2 R^2}{(2^{1/3} R)^2} = \frac{2 R^2}{2^{2/3} R^2} = 2^{1 - 2/3} = 2^{1/3}$.
Thus,the ratio is $2^{1/3} : 1$.

(C) Under isothermal conditions,the temperature and surface tension $T$ remain constant. When two soap bubbles coalesce to form a larger bubble,the total surface area changes,but the total number of moles of air inside remains constant. Since the process is isothermal,the pressure $P$ inside a soap bubble of radius $r$ is given by $P = P_{0} + 4T/r$. The total number of moles $n$ is given by $PV = nRT$. For a soap bubble,the excess pressure is $4T/r$,so the total pressure is $P_{atm} + 4T/r$. The volume is $V = (4/3)\pi r^{3}$.
Assuming the external pressure $P_{atm}$ is negligible or the process is governed by the conservation of surface energy in the context of bubble coalescence,the surface energy is $U = 2 \times (4\pi r^{2}T) = 8\pi r^{2}T$ (since a soap bubble has two surfaces).
Equating the initial and final surface energies: $8\pi r^{2}T = 8\pi r_{1}^{2}T + 8\pi r_{2}^{2}T$.
Dividing by $8\pi T$,we get $r^{2} = r_{1}^{2} + r_{2}^{2}$.
Therefore,the radius of the larger bubble is $r = (r_{1}^{2} + r_{2}^{2})^{1/2}$.

(C) The total volume of the mercury remains constant during the process of breaking the drop.
Volume of the large drop = $n \times$ Volume of one small droplet.
$\frac{4}{3} \pi R^{3} = n \times \frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}$
By canceling $\frac{4}{3} \pi$ from both sides,we get:
$R^{3} = n r^{3}$
Taking the cube root on both sides:
$R = n^{\frac{1}{3}} r$
Therefore,the radius of each small droplet is:
$r = \frac{R}{n^{\frac{1}{3}}}$

(B) Let $n$ be the number of small drops of radius $r$ that coalesce to form a big drop of radius $R$. Here,$n = 2$.
By conservation of volume: $n \times (\frac{4}{3} \pi r^3) = \frac{4}{3} \pi R^3$.
Substituting $n = 2$: $2r^3 = R^3$,which gives $R = 2^{1/3} r$.
The surface energy $E$ is given by $E = T \times A$,where $T$ is surface tension and $A$ is surface area.
Initial surface energy $E_1 = n \times (4 \pi r^2 T) = 2 \times 4 \pi r^2 T = 8 \pi r^2 T$.
Final surface energy $E_2 = 4 \pi R^2 T = 4 \pi (2^{1/3} r)^2 T = 4 \pi (2^{2/3} r^2) T = 4 \times 2^{2/3} \pi r^2 T$.
The ratio of total surface energies after and before the change is $\frac{E_2}{E_1} = \frac{4 \times 2^{2/3} \pi r^2 T}{8 \pi r^2 T} = \frac{2^{2/3}}{2} = 2^{2/3 - 1} = 2^{-1/3}$.
Thus,the ratio is $2^{-1/3} : 1$.

(C) The excess pressure $p$ inside a spherical drop of radius $r$ is given by $p = \frac{2T}{r}$,where $T$ is the surface tension.
Given that the excess pressure of the first drop is three times that of the second drop,we have $p_1 = 3p_2$.
Substituting the formula for excess pressure: $\frac{2T}{r_1} = 3 \times \frac{2T}{r_2}$.
This simplifies to $\frac{1}{r_1} = \frac{3}{r_2}$,which implies $r_2 = 3r_1$ or $\frac{r_1}{r_2} = \frac{1}{3}$.
The surface area $A$ of a spherical drop is given by $A = 4\pi r^2$.
The ratio of their surface areas is $\frac{A_1}{A_2} = \frac{4\pi r_1^2}{4\pi r_2^2} = \left(\frac{r_1}{r_2}\right)^2$.
Substituting the ratio of radii: $\frac{A_1}{A_2} = \left(\frac{1}{3}\right)^2 = \frac{1}{9}$.

(D) The excess pressure $P$ inside a soap bubble of radius $R$ is given by $P = \frac{4T}{R}$,where $T$ is the surface tension of the soap solution.
Given that the excess pressure in the first bubble $(P_{1})$ is twice that of the second bubble $(P_{2})$,we have $P_{1} = 2P_{2}$.
Substituting the formula for excess pressure: $\frac{4T}{R_{1}} = 2 \times \frac{4T}{R_{2}}$.
Simplifying this,we get $\frac{1}{R_{1}} = \frac{2}{R_{2}}$,which implies $\frac{R_{2}}{R_{1}} = 2$ or $R_{2} = 2R_{1}$.
The volume $V$ of a spherical bubble is given by $V = \frac{4}{3} \pi R^{3}$.
The ratio of the volumes is $\frac{V_{1}}{V_{2}} = \frac{\frac{4}{3} \pi R_{1}^{3}}{\frac{4}{3} \pi R_{2}^{3}} = \left( \frac{R_{1}}{R_{2}} \right)^{3}$.
Since $\frac{R_{1}}{R_{2}} = \frac{1}{2}$,the ratio of volumes is $\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^{3} = \frac{1}{8}$.

(D) When two mercury drops merge to form a single larger drop,the total volume of the mercury remains conserved.
Let $R$ be the radius of the resultant big drop.
The volume of the first drop is $V_{1} = \frac{4}{3} \pi R_{1}^{3}$.
The volume of the second drop is $V_{2} = \frac{4}{3} \pi R_{2}^{3}$.
The volume of the resultant drop is $V = \frac{4}{3} \pi R^{3}$.
Since the total volume is conserved,$V = V_{1} + V_{2}$.
$\frac{4}{3} \pi R^{3} = \frac{4}{3} \pi R_{1}^{3} + \frac{4}{3} \pi R_{2}^{3}$.
Canceling $\frac{4}{3} \pi$ from both sides,we get $R^{3} = R_{1}^{3} + R_{2}^{3}$.
Therefore,$R = (R_{1}^{3} + R_{2}^{3})^{\frac{1}{3}}$.

(C) The excess pressure inside a liquid drop of radius $r$ is given by $\Delta P = \frac{2T}{r} = 9$ units. (Note: For a liquid drop, the formula is $\frac{2T}{r}$, though the problem uses $9$ as a constant value for the expression).
Let the radius of the smaller drop be $r$ and the radius of the bigger drop be $R$.
When $27$ smaller drops combine to form a bigger drop, the volume remains conserved:
$27 \times (\frac{4}{3} \pi r^3) = \frac{4}{3} \pi R^3$
$27 r^3 = R^3$
Taking the cube root on both sides, we get $R = 3r$.
The excess pressure inside the bigger drop is $\Delta P' = \frac{2T}{R} = \frac{2T}{3r}$.
Since $\frac{2T}{r} = 9$, we substitute this value:
$\Delta P' = \frac{9}{3} = 3$ units.

(A) Let the radius of each small drop be $r$ and the radius of the large drop be $R$. Since the volume of mercury remains constant,the volume of the large drop equals the sum of the volumes of the two small drops:
$\frac{4}{3} \pi R^3 = 2 \times \left( \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3 \right)$
$R^3 = 2r^3 \implies R = 2^{1/3} r$
The initial total surface energy $E_i$ of the two small drops is:
$E_i = 2 \times (4 \pi r^2 T) = 8 \pi r^2 T$
The final surface energy $E_f$ of the single large drop is:
$E_f = 4 \pi R^2 T = 4 \pi (2^{1/3} r)^2 T = 4 \pi (2^{2/3} r^2) T = 4 \times 2^{2/3} \pi r^2 T$
The ratio of the total surface energies before and after the change is:
$\frac{E_i}{E_f} = \frac{8 \pi r^2 T}{4 \times 2^{2/3} \pi r^2 T} = \frac{2}{2^{2/3}} = 2^{1 - 2/3} = 2^{1/3} = 2^{1/3} : 1$

(A) The excess pressure $(p)$ inside a spherical liquid drop of radius $R$ due to surface tension $(T)$ is given by the formula:
$p = \frac{2T}{R}$
Here,$T$ is the surface tension of the liquid and $R$ is the radius of the drop.
From this relation,it is clear that the excess pressure is inversely proportional to the radius of the drop.
Therefore,$p \propto \frac{1}{R}$ or $p \propto R^{-1}$.

(D) The volume of the big bubble is equal to the sum of the volumes of $27$ small bubbles: $\frac{4}{3} \pi R^3 = 27 \times \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3$.
Taking the cube root on both sides: $R = 3r$.
The mechanical force per unit area (electrostatic pressure) on a charged soap bubble is given by $P = \frac{\sigma^2}{2\epsilon_0}$,where $\sigma = \frac{Q}{4\pi R^2}$.
Since the total charge $Q$ is conserved,the surface charge density $\sigma \propto \frac{1}{R^2}$.
Thus,the pressure $P \propto \frac{1}{R^4}$.
However,the question asks for the ratio of mechanical force per unit area,which is the electrostatic pressure $P = \frac{Q^2}{32\pi^2 \epsilon_0 R^4}$.
For the big bubble: $P_B = \frac{Q^2}{32\pi^2 \epsilon_0 R^4}$.
For a small bubble: $q = Q/27$,so $P_S = \frac{(Q/27)^2}{32\pi^2 \epsilon_0 r^4} = \frac{Q^2}{729 \times 32\pi^2 \epsilon_0 (R/3)^4} = \frac{Q^2}{729 \times 32\pi^2 \epsilon_0 (R^4/81)} = \frac{Q^2}{9 \times 32\pi^2 \epsilon_0 R^4}$.
Therefore,the ratio $\frac{P_B}{P_S} = \frac{1/R^4}{1/(9R^4)} = 9/1$.

(B) When a drop of radius $R$ is split into $n$ smaller drops (each of radius $r$),the total surface area of the liquid increases. Therefore,work must be done against the surface tension. Since the volume of the liquid remains constant:
$\frac{4}{3} \pi R^{3} = n \left( \frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3} \right) \implies R^{3} = n r^{3} \implies r = R n^{-1/3}$.
The change in energy (work done) is given by $W = T \times \Delta A$,where $\Delta A$ is the change in surface area.
$W = T [n(4 \pi r^{2}) - 4 \pi R^{2}]$
Substitute $r = R n^{-1/3}$:
$W = T [n(4 \pi (R n^{-1/3})^{2}) - 4 \pi R^{2}]$
$W = T [4 \pi R^{2} n (n^{-2/3}) - 4 \pi R^{2}]$
$W = 4 \pi R^{2} T [n^{1/3} - 1]$.
