The surface tension of soap solution is 3. 5 x 10 -2 N m -1 . The amount of work done required to increase the radius of soap bubble from 10 cm to 20 cm is _____x10 -4 J. (take 
)
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
264
(264)
The amount of work done is equal to the change in the surface energy to increase the radius of the bubble. The formula to calculate the change in surface energy is given by
U = 2(T x 
A) ...
Substitute the values of the known parameters into equation to calculate the required work done.
=2 x 1.32 x 10 -2 =264 x 10
-4 J
