The excess pressure inside a soap bubble is thrice the excess pressure inside a second soap bubble. The ratio between the volume of the first and the second bubble is:
- 1 : 9
- 1 : 27
- 1 : 81
- 1 : 3
Answer
(2) 1 : 27
Solution
Excess pressure in a soap bubble (two surfaces): P = 4Tr, so r 1 P.
P1 = 3 P2 r1r2 = 13
V1V2 = ( r1r2 )3 = 127
Answer: (2)
