    A large number of liquid drops each of radius r coalesce to from a single drop of radius R. The energy released in the process is converted into kinetic energy of the big drop so formed. The speed of the big drop is (given, surface tension of liquid T, density \[\rho \])     JEE Main Online Paper (Held On 19 April 2016)

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

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

    C) \[\sqrt{\frac{4T}{\rho }\left( \frac{1}{r}-\frac{1}{R} \right)}\]      

    D) \[\sqrt{\frac{6T}{\rho }\left( \frac{1}{r}-\frac{1}{R} \right)}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    When drops combine to form a single drop of radius R. Then energy released, \[E=4\pi {{R}^{3}}T\left[ \frac{1}{r}-\frac{1}{R} \right]\] \[\frac{1}{2}\times \left[ \frac{4}{3}\pi {{R}^{3}}\rho  \right]{{v}^{2}}=4\pi {{R}^{3}}T\left[ \frac{1}{r}-\frac{1}{R} \right]\] \[{{v}^{2}}=\frac{6T}{\rho }\left[ \frac{1}{r}-\frac{1}{R} \right]\]                 \[v=\sqrt{\frac{6T}{\rho }\left[ \frac{1}{r}-\frac{1}{R} \right]}\] If this energy is converted into kinetic energy then\[\frac{1}{2}m{{v}^{2}}=4\pi {{R}^{3}}T\left[ \frac{1}{r}-\frac{1}{R} \right]\] \[\frac{1}{2}\times \left[ \frac{4}{3}\pi {{R}^{3}}\rho  \right]{{v}^{2}}=4\pi {{R}^{3}}T\left[ \frac{1}{r}-\frac{1}{R} \right]\] \[{{v}^{2}}=\frac{6T}{\rho }\left[ \frac{1}{r}-\frac{1}{R} \right]\]\[v=\sqrt{\frac{6T}{\rho }\left[ \frac{1}{r}-\frac{1}{R} \right]}\]
