MCQ
A soap bubble has radius $R$ and thickness $d ( < < R)$ as shown. It colapses into a spherical drop. The ratio of excess pressure in the drop to the excess pressure inside the bubble is 
  • A
    ${\left( {\frac{R}{{3d}}} \right)^{\frac{1}{3}}}$
  • B
    ${\left( {\frac{R}{{6d}}} \right)^{\frac{1}{3}}}$
  • ${\left( {\frac{R}{{24d}}} \right)^{\frac{1}{3}}}$
  • D
    None 

Answer

Correct option: C.
${\left( {\frac{R}{{24d}}} \right)^{\frac{1}{3}}}$
c
Let $r$ be the radius of the water drop formed.

Since the volume of the water forming bubble and drop is same,

$\frac{4}{3} \pi\left(R^{3}-(R-d)^{3}\right)=\frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}$

$\Longrightarrow r^{3} \approx 3 R^{2} d\left(\text { neglecting } d^{2} \text { and } d^{3}\right)$

Ratio of excess pressure in the drop to the excess pressure inside the bubble is given by,

Ratio $=\frac{2 \sigma / r}{4 \sigma / R}$

Ratio $=\frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{R}{r}\right)$

Substituting the value of $\mathrm{r}$ gives $\left(\frac{R}{24 d}\right)^{1 / 3}$

A train with cross-sectional area $S _{ t }$ is moving with speed $v_t$ inside a long tunnel of cross-sectional area $S _0\left( S _0=4 S _{ t }\right)$. Assume that almost all the air (density $\rho$ ) in front of the train flows back between its sides and the walls of the tunnel. Also, the air flow with respect to the train is steady and laminar. Take the ambient pressure and that inside the train to be $p _0$. If the pressure in the region between the sides of the train and the tunnel walls is $p$, then $p _0- p =\frac{7}{2 N } \rho v_{ t }^2$. The value of $N$ is. . . . .
