$A$ large number of water drops,each of radius $r$,combine to form a single drop of radius $R$. If the surface tension is $T$ and the mechanical equivalent of heat is $J$,the rise in heat energy per unit volume will be:

  • A
    $\frac{2 T }{ J }\left(\frac{1}{ r }-\frac{1}{ R }\right)$
  • B
    $\frac{2 T }{ rJ }$
  • C
    $\frac{3 T }{ rJ }$
  • D
    $\frac{3 T }{ J }\left(\frac{1}{ r }-\frac{1}{ R }\right)$

$A$ 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)

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?
