A soap bubble of surface tension 0.04 N/m is blown to a diameter of 7 cm. If (15000 - x) of work is done in blowing it further to make its diameter 14 cm, then the value of x is . ( = 22/7)
Answer
11304
Solution
A soap bubble has two free surfaces, so W = T 2 A, where A = 4 R2 = D2.
A = (D22 - D12) = 227(142 - 72) 10-4 m2
A = 227 147 10-4 = 462 10-4 m2
W = 0.04 2 462 10-4 = 3.696 10-3 J = 3696
15000 - x = 3696
x = 11304
