Excess Pressure: Drops & Bubbles

Let 'R1R_1' and 'R2R_2' are radii of two mercury drops. A big mercury drop is formed from them under isothermal conditions. The radius of the resultant drop is

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

  1. Volume is conserved: R3=R13+R23R^3 = R_1^3 + R_2^3.
  2. R=(R13+R23)1/3R = \left(R_1^3 + R_2^3\right)^{1/3}
  3. So the answer is (b).
