Explanation

(a) W=TA=4πR2T(n1/3-1)

=4×3.14×(10-2)2×460×10-3×(106)1/3-1=0.057

When two small bubbles join to form a bigger one, energy is

Explanation

(a) 

When water droplets merge to form a bigger drop the total surface area decreases. Since the molecules in the surface have greater potential energy, the potential energy of surface molecules in the bigger drop decreases from before the merger. In other terms, the surface energy per unit area is equal to the surface tension. Since the surface tension remains the same, the surface energy will be less in the merged bigger drop. Hence the energy is liberated in the process.

A film of water is formed between two straight parallel wires of length 10cm each separated by 0.5 cm. If their separation is increased by 1 mm while still maintaining their parallelism, how much work will have to be done (Surface tension of water =7.2×10-2 N/m)

Explanation

(b) Increment in area of soap film = A2-A1

=2×(10×0.6)-(10×0.5×)×10-4=2×10-4 m2

Work done = T×A

=7.2×10-2×2×10-4=1.44×10-5 J

A drop of mercury of radius 2 mm is split into 8 identical droplets. Find the increase in surface energy. (Surface tension of mercury is 0.465 J/m2

Explanation

(a) Increase in surface energy or work done in splitting a big drop 4πR2T(n1/3-1)

W=4π×(2×10-3)2×0.465(81/3-1)=23.4 μJ

The work done in blowing a soap bubble of radius 0.2 m is (the surface tension of soap solution being 0.06 N/m)
