A spherical drop of liquid splits into 1000 identical spherical drops. If u i is the surface energy of the original drop and u f is the total surface energy of the resulting drops, the (ignoring evaporation). 
. Then value of x is_____:
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
1
(1)
Surface Tension = T
R: Radius of bigger drop
r: Radius of smaller drop
Volume will remain same
R=10r
So, x = 1
