Eight mercury drops, each of radius r, coalesce to form a bigger drop. The surface energy released in this process is . (S is the surface tension of mercury).

  1. 8 r2S
  2. 16 r2S
  3. 64 r2S
  4. 4 r2S

Answer

(2) 16 r2S

Solution

Volume is conserved: 43 R3=8 43 r3 R=2r

Initial area =8 4 r2=32 r2

Final area =4 (2r)2=16 r2

Decrease in area A=32 r2-16 r2=16 r2

Energy released =S A=16 r2S
