A big drop is formed by coalescing 1000 small droplets of water. The ratio of surface energy of 1000 droplets to that of energy of big drop is 10x. The value of x is .
Answer
1
Solution
Volume conserved: 1000 43 3 = 43 3 R = 10r
surface energy = T area
E1000 Ebig = 1000 4 24 (10r)2 = 10
10x = 10 x = 1
Answer: 1
