Question
A spherical soap bubble inside an air chamber at pressure P_0=10^5 ~Pa has a certain radius so that the excess pressure inside the bubble is P=144 ~Pa . Now, the chamber pressure is reduced to 8 P_0 / 27 so that the bubble radius and its excess pressure change. In this process, all the temperatures remain unchanged. Assume air to be an ideal gas and the excess pressure P in both the cases to be much smaller than the chamber pressure. The new excess pressure P in Pa is ________ .
