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

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

    B)  \[3.9\times {{10}^{-1}}N/m\]

    C)  \[3.9\times {{10}^{-2}}N/m\]                    

    D)  \[3.9\text{ }dyne/m\]

    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                 \[\frac{4T}{R}=h\rho g\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[T=\frac{4\rho gR}{4}\]                                Given, \[h=2\text{ }mm=0.2\text{ }cm,\text{ }g=980\text{ }cm/{{s}^{2}}\] \[\rho =0.8g/cc,\text{ }R=1\,cm\] \[\therefore \]  \[T=\frac{0.2\times 0.8\times 980}{4}\]                 \[=3.92\times 10\,dyne/cm\] In N/m \[T=3.9\times 10\times \frac{{{10}^{-5}}}{{{10}^{-2}}}\] \[=3.9\times {{10}^{-2}}N/m\]
