The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of calculating the work done in blowing a soap bubble of radius 0.1 m with a surface tension of 0.03 Nm^(-1), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Formula for Work Done The work done (W) in blowing a soap bubble is given by the formula: \[ W = 2 \times \text{Surface Tension} \times \text{Area} \] For a soap bubble, the area (A) is the surface area of the bubble, which can be calculated using the formula for the surface area of a sphere: \[ A = 4 \pi r^2 \] ### Step 2: Calculate the Surface Area of the Bubble Given the radius \( r = 0.1 \) m, we can calculate the surface area: \[ A = 4 \pi (0.1)^2 \] Calculating \( (0.1)^2 \): \[ (0.1)^2 = 0.01 \] Now substituting back: \[ A = 4 \pi (0.01) = 0.04 \pi \] ### Step 3: Substitute Values into the Work Done Formula Now substituting the area into the work done formula: \[ W = 2 \times \sigma \times A = 2 \times 0.03 \times (0.04 \pi) \] Calculating \( 2 \times 0.03 = 0.06 \): \[ W = 0.06 \times (0.04 \pi) \] ### Step 4: Calculate the Value of Work Done Using \( \pi \approx 3.14 \): \[ W = 0.06 \times (0.04 \times 3.14) = 0.06 \times 0.1256 = 0.007536 \] Thus, the work done is: \[ W \approx 7.54 \times 10^{-3} \text{ Joules} \] ### Step 5: Calculate Additional Work for Doubling the Radius Now, we need to find the additional work done when the radius is doubled. The new radius \( r_2 = 2 \times r_1 = 0.2 \) m. The additional work done is given by: \[ W_{\text{additional}} = 8 \pi \sigma (r_2^2 - r_1^2) \] Calculating \( r_2^2 \) and \( r_1^2 \): \[ r_2^2 = (0.2)^2 = 0.04, \quad r_1^2 = (0.1)^2 = 0.01 \] Thus, \[ r_2^2 - r_1^2 = 0.04 - 0.01 = 0.03 \] ### Step 6: Substitute Values into the Additional Work Formula Now substituting the values into the additional work formula: \[ W_{\text{additional}} = 8 \pi \sigma (0.03) \] Calculating: \[ W_{\text{additional}} = 8 \times 3.14 \times 0.03 \times 0.03 \] Calculating \( 8 \times 3.14 = 25.12 \): \[ W_{\text{additional}} = 25.12 \times 0.03 = 0.7536 \times 0.03 = 0.02256 \] Thus, the additional work done is: \[ W_{\text{additional}} \approx 2.26 \times 10^{-2} \text{ Joules} \] ### Final Answers 1. The work done in blowing the soap bubble is approximately \( 7.54 \times 10^{-3} \) Joules. 2. The additional work done in further blowing it to double the radius is approximately \( 2.26 \times 10^{-2} \) Joules.
