    The excess pressure inside a spherical soap bubble of radius 1 cm is balanced by a column of oil (specific gravity =0.8), 2 mm high, the surface tension of the bubble is

    A)  3.92 N/m        

    B)  0.0392 N/m

    C)  0.392 N/m       

    D)  0.00392 N/m

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     The excess pressure of soap bubble \[p=\frac{4T}{R}\] Or \[h\rho g=\frac{4T}{R}\] \[(\because p=h\rho g)\] \[\therefore \] \[T=\frac{Rh\rho g}{4}\] \[=\frac{1\times {{10}^{-2}}\times 2\times {{10}^{-3}}\times 0.8\times {{10}^{3}}\times 9.8}{4}\] \[=0.0392\text{ }N/m\]
