Physics Question on mechanical properties of fluid

A soap bubble, having radius of 1mm1 mm, is blown from a detergent solution having a surface tension of 2.5×102N/m2.5 \times 10^{-2} N / m. The pressure inside the bubble equals at a point Z0Z _{0} below the free surface of water in a container. Taking g=10m/s2g = 1 0 m / s ^{2}, density of water =103kg/m3= 1 0 ^{3} kg / m ^{3}, the value of Z0Z _{0} is:

A

1 cm

B

0.5 cm

C

100 cm

D

10 cm

Answer

1 cm

Explanation

Solution

Excess pressure = 4TR\frac{4T}{R} , Gauge pressure =ρgZ0= \rho g Z_0
P0+4TR=P0+ρqZ0P_{0} + \frac{4T}{R} = P_{0} + \rho qZ_{0}
Z0=4TR×ρgZ_{0} = \frac{4T}{R \times\rho g}
Z0=4×2.5×102103×1000×10mZ_{0} = \frac{4\times2.5 \times10^{-2}}{10^{-3} \times1000 \times10} m
Z0=1  cmZ_0 = 1 \; cm
