Statement I: Smaller drop of water resist deformation forces better than the larger drops.
Statement II: Excess pressure inside drop is inversely proportional to its radius.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
D
Both Statement I and Statement II are correct.
As excess pressure inside a liquid drop is

Excess pressure inside the smaller drop is large due to which smaller drop of water resist deforming forces better than larger drops.
