- Paragraph :
When liquid medicine of density \(\rho\) is to be put in the eye, it is done with the help of a dropper. As the bulb on the top of the dropper is pressed, a drop forms at the opening of the dropper. We wish to estimate the size of the drop.
We first assume that the drop formed at the opening is spherical because that requires a minimum increase in its surface energy. To determine the size, we calculate the net vertical force due to the surface tension \(T\) when the radius of the drop is \(R\). When this force becomes smaller than the weight of the drop, the drop gets detached from the dropper.Question :
After the drop detaches, its surface energy isJEE Advanced 2010 Easy - A boy is pushing a ring of mass \(2 \mathrm{~kg}\) and radius \(0.5 \mathrm{~m}\) with a stick as shown in the figure. The stick applies a force of \(2 \mathrm{~N}\) on the ring and rolls it without slipping with an acceleration of \(0.3 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^2\). The coefficient of friction between the ground and the ring is large enough that rolling always occurs and the coefficient of friction between the stick and the ring is \(\frac{P}{10}\). The value of \(P\) is
