MCQ
A soap bubble assumes a spherical surface. Which of the following statement is wrong
  • A
    The soap film consists of two surface layers of molecules back to back
  • B
    The bubble encloses air inside it
  • The pressure of air inside the bubble is less than the atmospheric pressure; that is why the atmospheric pressure has compressed it equally from all sides to give it a spherical shape
  • D
    Because of the elastic property of the film, it will tend to shrink to as small a surface area as possible for the volume it has enclosed

Answer

Correct option: C.
The pressure of air inside the bubble is less than the atmospheric pressure; that is why the atmospheric pressure has compressed it equally from all sides to give it a spherical shape

Two large, identical water tanks, $1$ and $2$ , kept on the top of a building of height $H$, are filled with water up to height $h$ in each tank. Both the tanks contain an identical hole of small radius on their sides, close to their bottom. A pipe of the same internal radius as that of the hole is connected to tank $2$ , and the pipe ends at the ground level. When the water flows the tanks $1$ and $2$ through the holes, the times taken to empty the tanks are $t_1$ and $t_2$, respectively.
