  • question_answer
    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)       

    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 :

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