Excess Pressure: Drops & Bubbles

The excess pressure inside a first spherical drop of water is three times that of second spherical drop of water. Then the ratio of mass of first spherical drop to that of second spherical drop is

Show answer and solution

Answer: (d)

  1. ΔP=2Tr∝1r\Delta P = \frac{2T}{r} \propto \frac{1}{r}; ΔP1=3ΔP2⇒r1=r23\Delta P_1 = 3\Delta P_2 \Rightarrow r_1 = \frac{r_2}{3}.
  2. m1m2=(13)3=127\frac{m_1}{m_2} = \left(\frac{1}{3}\right)^3 = \frac{1}{27}
  3. So the answer is (d) 1:271 : 27.
