  • $0.125$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$0.125$
d
$work\,done = Surface\,tension\,of\,film \times $

$Change\,in\,area\,of\,the\,film$

$or,\,\,W = T \times \Delta A$

$Here,{A_1} = 4\,cm \times 2\,cm = 8\,c{m^2}$

${A_2} = 5\,cm \times 4\,cm = 20\,c{m^2}$

$\Delta A = 2\,\left( {{A_2} - {A_1}} \right) = 24\,c{m^2} = 24 \times {10^{ - 4}}{m^2}$

$W = 3 \times {10^{ - 4}}J,T = ?$

$\therefore \,\,T = \frac{W}{{\Delta A}} = \frac{{3 \times {{10}^{ - 4}}}}{{24 \times {{10}^{ - 4}}}} = \frac{1}{8} = 0.125\,N\,{m^{ - 1}}$

  • A
    $\frac{\pi }{2} < {\theta _1} < {\theta _2} < {\theta _3} < \pi \;$
  • B
    $\;\pi > {\theta _1} > {\theta _2} > {\theta _3} > \frac{\pi }{2}$
  • C
    $\;\frac{\pi }{2} > {\theta _1} > {\theta _2} > {\theta _3} > 0$
  • $\;0 \le {\theta _1} < {\theta _2} < {\theta _3} < \frac{\pi }{2}$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$\;0 \le {\theta _1} < {\theta _2} < {\theta _3} < \frac{\pi }{2}$
d
$Capillary\,rise,\,h = \frac{{2T\cos \theta }}{{r\rho g}}$

$For\,given\,value\,of\,T\,and\,r,h \propto \frac{{\cos \theta }}{\rho }$

$Also,{h_1} = {h_2} = {h_3}\,\,or\,\,\frac{{\cos {\theta _1}}}{{{\rho _1}}} = \frac{{\cos {\theta _2}}}{{{\rho _2}}} = \frac{{\cos {\theta _3}}}{{{\rho _3}}}$

$Since\,{\rho _1} > {\rho _2} > {\rho _{3'}}\,so\,\cos {\theta _1} > \cos {\theta _2} > \cos {\theta _3}$

$For\,0 \le \theta  < \frac{\pi }{2},{\theta _1} < {\theta _2} < {\theta _3}$

$Hence,\,0 \le {\theta _1} < {\theta _2} < {\theta _3} < \frac{\pi }{2}$

  • D
    $2.054 \times {10^5}\,Pa$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$1.027 \times {10^5}\,Pa$
c

$ \Rightarrow {P_{in}} - {P_{out}} = \frac{{2T}}{r} = \frac{{2 \times 70 \times {{10}^{ - 3}}}}{{0.1 \times {{10}^{ - 3}}}} = 1400\,Pa$

$⇒$  ${P_{in}} = 1400 + 1.013 \times {10^5}$$ = 0.014 \times {10^5} + 1.013 \times {10^5} = 1.027 \times {10^5}\,Pa$

$8000$ identical water drops are combined to form a big drop. Then the ratio of the final surface energy to the initial surface energy of all the drops together is
  • A
    $1:10$
  • B
    $1:15$
  • $1:20$
  • D

Answer
Correct option: C.
$1:20$
c
(c) As volume remains constant ${R^3} = 8000{r^3}$

$\therefore R = 20r$

$\frac{{{\rm{Surface \,energy\, of \,one \,big \,drop}}}}{{{\rm{Surface \,energy \,of \,8000 \,small\, drop}}}} = \frac{{4\pi {R^2}T}}{{8000\;4\pi {r^2}T}}$

Answer
Correct option: C.
Slightly less than four times

(c) Work done to form a bubble of radius $R$

${W_1} = 8\pi {R^2}{T_1}$

Work done to form a bubble of radius $2R$

${W_2} = 8\pi {(2R)^2}{T_2}$$ = 32\pi {R^2}{T_2}$ ?$\frac{{{W_1}}}{{{W_2}}} = \frac{{{T_1}}}{{4{T_2}}}$

If surface tension of soap solution is same then

${W_2} = 4{W_1}$

But in the problem temperature of solution is increased so its surface tension decreases.

$\therefore {W_2} < 4{W_1}$

  • C
    equal
  • greater
Answer
Correct option: D.
greater

When the surface area of a liquid is increased, molecules from the interior of the liquid rise to the surface. As these molecules reach the surface work is done against the cohesive force. This work is stored in the molecules in the form of potential energy. Thus, the potential energy of the molecules lying the surface is greater than that of the molecules in the interior of the liquid
