$A$ balloon is made of a material of surface tension $S$ and its inflation outlet (from where gas is filled in it) has small area $A$. It is filled with a gas of density $\rho$ and takes a spherical shape of radius $R$. When the gas is allowed to flow freely out of it,its radius changes from $R$ to $0$ in time $T$. If the speed $\psi(r)$ of gas coming out of the balloon depends on $r$ as $r^\alpha$ and $T \propto S^a A^\beta \rho^\gamma R^\delta$,then:
