JEE Mains · Physics · STD 11 - Surface tension
- JEE Mains 2020
- Hard
- MCQ
A small spherical droplet of density \(d\) is floating exactly half immersed in a liquid of density \(\rho\) and surface tension \(\mathrm{T}\). The radius of the droplet is (take note that the surface tension applies an upward force on the droplet)
Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) \(r=\sqrt{\frac{3 T}{(2 d-\rho) g}}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(B + F = mg\)
\(\mathrm{B}=\left(\frac{2}{3} \pi \mathrm{R}^{3}\right) \rho \mathrm{g}\)
\(\mathrm{F}=\mathrm{T}(2 \pi \mathrm{R})\)
\(\mathrm{m}=\mathrm{d}\left(\frac{4}{3} \pi \mathrm{R}^{3}\right)\)
\(\left(\frac{2}{3} \pi \mathrm{R}^{3}\right) \rho \mathrm{g}+\mathrm{T}(2 \pi \mathrm{R})=\mathrm{d}\left(\frac{4}{3} \pi \mathrm{R}^{3}\right) \mathrm{g}\)
\(\mathrm{T}(2 \pi \mathrm{R})=\left(\frac{2}{3} \pi \mathrm{R}^{3}\right) \mathrm{g}[2 \mathrm{d}-\rho]\)
\(\mathrm{R}=\sqrt{\frac{3 \mathrm{T}}{(2 \mathrm{d}-\rho) \mathrm{g}}}\)
