Two spherical soap bubbles of radii $r_1$ and $r_2$ in vacuum combine under isothermal conditions. The resulting bubble has a radius equal to:

  • A
    $\frac{r_1+r_2}{2}$
  • B
    $\frac{r_1 r_2}{r_1+r_2}$
  • C
    $\sqrt{r_1 r_2}$
  • D
    $\sqrt{r_1^2+r_2^2}$

The diameter of a rain-drop is $0.02 \, cm$. If the surface tension of water is $72 \times 10^{-3} \, N/m$,then the pressure difference between the internal and external surfaces of the drop will be:

What is the pressure inside the drop of mercury of radius $3.00 \; mm$ at room temperature? Surface tension of mercury at that temperature $(20 \; ^{\circ}C)$ is $4.65 \times 10^{-1} \; N m^{-1}$. The atmospheric pressure is $1.01 \times 10^{5} \; Pa$. Also,calculate the excess pressure inside the drop.
