Drops of liquid of density \(d\) are floating half immersed in a liquid of density \(\rho\). If the surface tension of the liquid is \(T\), then the radius of the drop is

  1. A \(\sqrt{\frac{3 T}{g(3 d-\rho)}}\)
  2. B \(\sqrt{\frac{6 T}{g(2 d-\rho)}}\)
  3. C \(\sqrt{\frac{3 T}{g(2 d-p)}}\)
  4. D \(\sqrt{\frac{3 T}{g(4 d-3 p)}}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\sqrt{\frac{3 T}{g(2 d-p)}}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

According to the question, \(\frac{4}{3} \pi r^3 d g=\frac{2}{3} \pi r^3 \rho g+T \times 2 \pi r\) or \(r=\sqrt{\frac{3 T}{g(2 d-\rho)}}\)
