What should be the diameter of a soap bubble, in order that the excess pressure inside it is 51.2N/m2 ? (S. T of soap solution = 3.2/100 N/m)
For a soap bubble , excess pressure is given by dP = 4T/r ( T = S.T and r = radii)
so, 51.2 = 4*(3.2/100) / r
51.2 = 12.8 / 100r
r= 0.25/100 meters
so, diameter d= 2r = 0.5 /100 meters = 0.5 * 10^-2 m
so, 51.2 = 4*(3.2/100) / r
51.2 = 12.8 / 100r
r= 0.25/100 meters
so, diameter d= 2r = 0.5 /100 meters = 0.5 * 10^-2 m
