1000 droplets of water having \(2 \mathrm{mm}\) diameter each coalesce to form a single drop. Given the surface tension of water is \(0.072 \mathrm{Nm}^{-1}\). The energy loss in the process is

  1. A \(8.146 \times 10^{-4} \mathrm{J}\)
  2. B \(4.4 \times 10^{-4} \mathrm{J}\)
  3. C \(2108 \times 10^{-5} \mathrm{J}\)
  4. D \(4.7 \times 10^{-1} \mathrm{J}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(8.146 \times 10^{-4} \mathrm{J}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let the radius of single drop = \(r\) Radius of small drop \(=\frac{2 m m}{2}\) \[ \begin{array}{l} =1 \mathrm{mm} \\ =1 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{m} \end{array} \] Surface tension of water \(=0.072 \mathrm{N} / \mathrm{m}\) The volume of large drop must be equal volume of all…
