Determine the excess pressure inside an air bubble of radius 4 mm4 \text{ mm} formed within a tank of water. The surface tension of water is given as 0.076 N/m0.076 \text{ N/m}.

Options

  1. A19 N/m219 \text{ N/m}^2
  2. B152 N/m2152 \text{ N/m}^2
  3. C76 N/m276 \text{ N/m}^2
  4. D38 N/m238 \text{ N/m}^2

Correct answer

D. 38 N/m238 \text{ N/m}^2

Step-by-step solution

The excess pressure inside an air bubble formed within a liquid is given by the formula:

ΔP=2TR\Delta P = \dfrac{2T}{R}

where TT is the surface tension of the liquid and RR is the radius of the bubble.

Given:
T=0.076 N/mT = 0.076 \text{ N/m}
R=4 mm=4×10−3 mR = 4 \text{ mm} = 4 \times 10^{-3} \text{ m}

Substituting the values into the formula:

ΔP=2×0.0764×10−3\Delta P = \dfrac{2 \times 0.076}{4 \times 10^{-3}}

ΔP=0.1524×10−3\Delta P = \dfrac{0.152}{4 \times 10^{-3}}

ΔP=38 N/m2\Delta P = 38 \text{ N/m}^2
