Excess Pressure: Drops & Bubbles

The excess pressure inside a liquid drop is 500 Nm−2{}^{-2}. If the radius of the drop is 2 mm, the surface tension of liquid is x ×\times 10−-3 Nm−1{}^{-1}. The value of x is _____________.

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

Show answer and solution

Answer: 500

  1. Liquid drop: ΔP=2TR⇒T=ΔP⋅R2\Delta P = \frac{2T}{R} \Rightarrow T = \frac{\Delta P \cdot R}{2}.
  2. T=500×2×10−32=0.5T = \frac{500 \times 2 \times 10^{-3}}{2} = 0.5 N/m =500×10−3= 500 \times 10^{-3} N/m
  3. So x=500x = 500.
