    A large number of droplets, each of radius, r coalesce to form a bigger drop of radius, R. An Engineer designs a machine so that the energy released in this process is converted into the kinetic energy of the drop. Velocity of the drop is (T = surface tension, \[\rho \] = density)     JEE Main  Online Paper (Held On 19  May  2012)

    A) \[{{\left[ \frac{T}{\rho }\left( \frac{1}{r}-\frac{1}{R} \right) \right]}^{1/2}}\]         

    B)                        \[{{\left[ \frac{6T}{\rho }\left( \frac{1}{r}-\frac{1}{R} \right) \right]}^{1/2}}\]

    C)                        \[{{\left[ \frac{3T}{\rho }\left( \frac{1}{r}-\frac{1}{R} \right) \right]}^{1/2}}\]       

    D)                        \[{{\left[ \frac{2T}{\rho }\left( \frac{1}{r}-\frac{1}{R} \right) \right]}^{1/2}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                    When small droplets coelesce to form a  bigger drop, energy released in this process is given by,\[4\pi {{R}^{3}}T\left[ \frac{1}{r}-\frac{1}{R} \right]\]Where, R = radius of big drop r = radius of small drop T = surface tension According to question \[\frac{1}{2}m{{v}^{2}}=4\pi {{R}^{3}}T\left[ \frac{1}{r}-\frac{1}{R} \right]\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[\frac{1}{2}\left[ \frac{4}{3}\pi {{R}^{3}}\rho  \right]{{v}^{2}}=4\pi {{R}^{3}}T\left[ \frac{1}{r}-\frac{1}{R} \right]\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[{{V}^{2}}=\frac{6T}{\rho }\left[ \frac{1}{r}-\frac{1}{R} \right]\Rightarrow \,V={{\left[ \frac{6T}{\rho }\left( \frac{1}{r}-\frac{1}{R} \right) \right]}^{\frac{1}{2}}}\]
