normal
A spherical drop of water has $1\, mm$ radius. If the surface tension of water is $70\times10^{-3}\, N/m$ . Then the difference of pressures between inside and outside of the spherical drop is :
A
$140\, N /m^2$
B
$40\, N/m$
C
$35\, Nm^2$
D
none of these
Solution

Excess pressure, $\Delta \mathrm{p}=\frac{2 \mathrm{T}}{\mathrm{r}}$
$=\frac{2 \times 70 \times 10^{-3}}{1 \times 10^{-3}}=140$ $\mathrm{newton}$ $/ \mathrm{m}^{2}$
