(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: $\frac{4}{3} \pi R^3 = 64 	imes \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3$. 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: $W = T 	imes \Delta A$, where $\Delta A$ is the increase in surface area. Initial surface area $A_i = 4 \pi R^2$. Final surface area $A_f = 64 	imes (4 \pi r^2) = 64 	imes 4 \pi (\frac{R}{4})^2 = 64 	imes 4 \pi 	imes \frac{R^2}{16} = 16 \pi R^2$. 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 $W = T 	imes 12 \pi R^2 = 12 \pi TR^2$.

The work done in splitting a water drop of radius $R$ into $64$ droplets is ($T=$ surface tension of water). (in $\pi TR^2$)

$64$ small drops,each of radius $r$ and charge $q$,coalesce to form a single large drop. If the charge is conserved,what is the ratio of the surface charge density of a small drop to that of the large drop?

An air bubble of radius $0.1 \ cm$ lies at a depth of $20 \ cm$ below the free surface of a liquid of density $1000 \ kg/m^3$. If the pressure inside the bubble is $2100 \ N/m^2$ greater than the atmospheric pressure,then the surface tension of the liquid in $SI$ unit is (use $g=10 \ m/s^2$)

When a big drop of water is formed from $n$ small drops of water, the energy loss is $3E$, where $E$ is the energy of the bigger drop. If $R$ is the radius of the bigger drop and $r$ is the radius of the smaller drop, then the number of smaller drops $(n)$ is:

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 :
