On heating water, bubbles being formed at the bottom of the vessel detatch and rise. Take the bubbles to be spheres of radius R and making a circular contact of radius r with the bottom of the vessel. If r << R, and the surface tension of water is T, value of r just before bubbles detatch is :
(density of water is )

(density of water is )
Options
- A
- B{\text{R}}^{2} \sqrt{\dfrac{{ρ}_{\text{w}} \text{g}}{6 T}}
- C{\text{R}}^{2} \sqrt{\dfrac{{ρ}_{\text{w}} \text{g}}{T}}
- D{\text{R}}^{2} \sqrt{\dfrac{{3 ρ}_{\text{w}} \text{g}}{T}}
Correct answer
A.
Step-by-step solution
When the bubble gets detached,
Buoyant force = force due to surface tension

∫ \text{T} \times dl \text\sin \theta = \dfrac{4}{3} \pi {\text{R}}^{3} {ρ}_{\text{w}} \text{g}
Buoyant force = force due to surface tension
∫ \text{T} \times dl \text\sin \theta = \dfrac{4}{3} \pi {\text{R}}^{3} {ρ}_{\text{w}} \text{g}
