    If the excess pressure inside a soap bubble is balanced by oil column of height \[2\text{ }mm,\]then the surface tension of soap solution will be ( \[r=1\text{ }cm\]and density \[d=0.8\text{ }g/\text{ }cc\])

    A) \[3.9\text{ }N/m\]

    B)  \[3.9\times {{10}^{-1}}N/m\]

    C)  \[3.9\times {{10}^{-2}}N/m\]

    D)  \[3.9\,dyne/m\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Excess pressure inside a soap bubble of radius R is \[=\frac{4T}{R}\] ?..(i) where T is surface tension of liquid film. Pressure due to oil column \[=h\rho g\]                ...(ii) where h is height of column, p the density and g the gravity. From Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get \[\frac{4T}{R}=h\rho g\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[T=\frac{h\rho gR}{4}\] Given,  \[h=2\text{ }mm=0.2\text{ }cm,\text{ }g=980\text{ }cm/{{s}^{2}}\] \[\rho =0.8g/cc,\,\,\,\,R=1cm\] \[\therefore \] \[T=\frac{0.2\times 0.8\times 980}{4}\] \[=3.9\times {{10}^{-2}}N/m\]
