Question

On heating water, bubbles being formed at the bottom of the vessel detatch and rise. Take the bubbles to be spheres of radius R and making a circular contact of radius r with the bottom of the vessel. If r << R, and the surface tension of water is T, value of r just before bubbles detatch is (Density of water is ρw)
       

Options

A.R2
B.
C.
D.

Solution

       
When the bubble gets detached,
Buoyant force = force due to surface tension
∫ T × dl sin θ = π R3 ρwg
⇒     T × 2πr × π R3 ρwg
⇒     r2 =
⇒     r = R2
