Surface Tension Numericals

The document discusses surface tension and provides 15 problems involving calculations related to surface tension. Some examples include calculating the force required to remove a plate from water, the additional force needed to pull a wire frame from water, and determining the work done in blowing soap bubbles of varying radii. Other problems involve calculating pressures inside bubbles, determining the depth at which a bubble will remain in equilibrium, and comparing the surface tensions of water and mercury based on their behaviors in capillary tubes.

SURFACE TENSION

1. Calculate the force required to take away a flat plate of radius 7cm from the surface of water.
Given σw = 72 X10-3 N/m
2. A light wire frame in the form of a square of side 5 cm hangs vertically in water with one side in
water. What additional force is necessary to pull the frame out of water σw = 7.4 X 10-2 N/m
3. Calculate the work done in blowing a soap bubble of radius 5 mm. surface tension of soap
solution is 0.028 N/m
4. A soap bubble is blown to a diameter of 14 cm. if 15085.7 erg of work is done in blowing it
further, find the new radius. Surface tension of soap solution is 40 dyne/cm
5. The work done in increasing the soap film from 10cm X 6 cm to 10 X 11 cm is 3 X 10-4 J. Find the
surface tension of the film.
6. Calculate the work done in splitting a drop of water of 1 mm radius into 106 drops. σw = 72 X 10-3
N/m
7. What amount of energy will be liberated if 1000 drops of water each of diameter 10 -6 cm
coalesce to form a higher drop. σw = 75 dyne/cm
8. Several drops of liquid of radius ‘r’ each coalesce to form a single drop of radius R. if all the
energy released is converted into kinetic energy, then show that the velocity acquired by the
6 σ 1 1 1/2
drop is [ ( - )] where σ and ρ are surface tension and density of liquid.
ρ r R
9. The excess pressure inside a soap bubble of radius 4 mm is 4 mm of water. Calculate the surface
tension of soap solution.
10. Calculate the total pressure inside an air bubble of radius 0.1 mm at a depth of 12 cm below the
surface of a liquid of density 1.1 gm/c.c and surface tension 50 dyne/cm. (height of Hg
barometer = 76 cm)
11. Find the depth at which an air bubble of radius 0.7 mm will remain in equilibrium in water. Take
σ = 7 X 10-2 N/m and g = 10 m/s2
12. Two soap bubbles of radius 4 cm and 5 cm are touching each other over a common surface. Find
the radius of the common surface.
13. A soap bubble in vacuum has a radius of 3 cm and soap bubble in vacuum has a radius of 4 cm. if
the two bubbles coalesce under isothermal condition, then what is the radius of the new
bubble?
14. Water rises to a height of 10 cm in a certain capillary tube. In the same tube the level of mercury
is depressed by 3.42 cm. compare the surface tension of water and mercury. Specific gravity of
Hg = 13.6 θw = 0° and θHg = 135°
15. Find the difference in level of Hg in two limb of U – tube if the diameter of bore of one limb is 2
√ 2 mm and of the other is 4 mm. the surface tension of Hg is 544 X 10-3 N/m, its density is 13.6 X
103 kg/m3 and angle of contact is 135°
