When a mercury drop of radius 'R', breaks into 'n' droplets of equal size, the radius 'r' of each droplet is

  1. A \(\mathrm{r}=\frac{\mathrm{R}}{\sqrt{\mathrm{n}}}\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{r}=\frac{\mathrm{R}}{\mathrm{n}}\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{r}=\frac{\mathrm{R}}{\mathrm{n}^{\frac{1}{3}}}\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{r}=\mathrm{R} \mathrm{n}^{\frac{1}{3}}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\mathrm{r}=\frac{\mathrm{R}}{\mathrm{n}^{\frac{1}{3}}}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Volume remains constant
\(\therefore \mathrm{n} \times \frac{4}{3} \pi \mathrm{r}^{3}=\frac{4}{3} \pi \mathrm{R}^{3}\)
\(\therefore \mathrm{nr}^{3}=\mathrm{R}^{3}\)
\(\therefore \quad n^{\frac{1}{3}} r=R \quad \therefore r=\frac{R}{n^{\frac{1}{3}}}\)
