A big drop is formed by coalescing 1000 small identical drops of water. If E1 be the total surface energy of 1000 small drops of water and E2 be the surface energy of single big drop of water, then E1:E2 is x:1 where x= .
Answer
10
Solution
Volume conserved: 1000 43 r3= 43 R3 R=10r
Surface energy =S area
E1E2= 1000 4 r2S4 (10r)2S= 1000100=10
x=10
Answer: 10
