Due to surface tension, the excess pressure inside a smaller drop is 9 units. If 27 smaller drops combine, then the excess pressure inside the bigger drop is

  1. A \(2\) units
  2. B \(1\) unit
  3. C \(3\) units
  4. D \(4\) units
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(3\) units

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given \(P_{\text {in }}-P_{\text {out }}=\frac{4 T}{r}=9\) units If 27 such drop coalesee \(27\left(\frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}\right)=\frac{4}{3} \pi r_{b}^{3}\)
\(\therefore \quad 3 r=r_{b}\)
\(\therefore\) Excess pressure \(\frac{4 \mathrm{~T}}{\mathrm{r}_{\mathrm{b}}}=\frac{4 \mathrm{~T}}{3 \mathrm{r}}=\frac{9}{3}=3\) unit
