Excess Pressure: Drops & Bubbles

A spherical soap bubble of radius 3 cm is formed inside another spherical soap bubble of radius 6 cm. If the internal pressure of the smaller bubble of radius 3 cm in the above system is equal to the internal pressure of another single soap bubble of radius r cm. The value of r is ___________.

Numerical answer type. Work it out, then open the answer.

Show answer and solution

Answer: 2

  1. Inside the small bubble: P2−P0=4T3+4T6P_2 - P_0 = \frac{4T}{3} + \frac{4T}{6} (both films add).
  2. Equivalent single bubble: 4Tr=4T(13+16)=4T2\frac{4T}{r} = 4T\left(\frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{6}\right) = \frac{4T}{2}
  3. r=2 cmr = 2\text{ cm}
