A large number of liquid drops each of radius 'a' coalesce to form a single spherical drop of radish b. The energy released in the process is converted into kinetic energy of the big drops formed. The speed of big drop will be

A

`[(6T)/rho(1/a-1/b)]^(1//2)`

B

`[(6T)/rho(1/b-1/a)]^(1//2)`

C

` [ rho/(6T)(1/a-1/b)]^(1//2)`

D

`[rho/(6T)(1/b-1/a)]^(1//2)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

Volume of n drops = Volume of one drop
` :. (4/3 pia^(3))=4/3 pib^(3)" " n = (b^(3))/(a^(3))`
Decrease in area `= n (4pia^(2)) - 4pib^(2)`
` = 44pi (na^(2)-b^(2))`
`=4pi ((b^(3))/(a^(3))xxa^(2)-b^(2))`
` = 4 pib^(3) (1/a-1/b)`
`:. ` Energy released = (S.T) `xx` (decrease in area )
` = T. 4pib^(3) (1/a -1/b) ` ....(1)
This energy released gives K.E to the the big drop .
` :. K.E =1/2 mv^(2) = 1/2 (4/3 pib^(3)) rho xx v^(2)" "` ...(2)
From (1) and (2 ) , we get
` 1/2 (4/3 pib^(3))rhov^(2)=T.4pib^(3)(1/a-1/b)`
` v^(2) =(6T)/rho (1/a-1/b)`
` :. v = sqrt((6T)/rho (1/a-1/b))`
