View full question & answer→Given : $h=0.8 cm=8 \times 10^{-3} m$
Density of water $\rho=1 \times 10^3 kg / m ^3$ and
$r=0.35 cm=35 \times 10^{-4} m$
Pressure of water column
$\begin{aligned}P & =h \rho g \\& =8 \times 10^{-3} \times 1 \times 10^3 \times 9.8 \\P & =78.4 N / m^2\end{aligned}$
Pressure excess in bubble
$\begin{aligned}P & =\frac{4 T}{r} \\or~~~T & =\frac{\operatorname{Pr}}{4} \\T & =\frac{78.4 \times 35 \times 10^{-4}}{4} \\T & =\frac{2744 \times 10^{-4}}{4} \\T & =686 \times 10^{-4} N / m \\T & =68.6 \times 10^{-3} N / m\end{aligned}$
