The correct Answer is:
To find the difference of pressure between the inside and outside of a spherical drop of water, we can use the formula for pressure difference due to surface tension: \[ \Delta P = \frac{2T}{R} \] where: - \(\Delta P\) is the difference of pressure, - \(T\) is the surface tension, - \(R\) is the radius of the drop. ### Step 1: Identify the given values - Radius of the drop, \(R = 1 \text{ mm} = 1 \times 10^{-3} \text{ m}\) - Surface tension of water, \(T = 70 \times 10^{-3} \text{ N/m}\) ### Step 2: Substitute the values into the formula Now we substitute the values of \(T\) and \(R\) into the pressure difference formula: \[ \Delta P = \frac{2 \times (70 \times 10^{-3})}{1 \times 10^{-3}} \] ### Step 3: Simplify the expression Calculating the numerator: \[ 2 \times (70 \times 10^{-3}) = 140 \times 10^{-3} \text{ N/m} \] Now substituting this back into the equation: \[ \Delta P = \frac{140 \times 10^{-3}}{1 \times 10^{-3}} = 140 \text{ N/m}^2 \] ### Step 4: Final result Thus, the difference of pressure between the inside and outside of the spherical drop is: \[ \Delta P = 140 \text{ N/m}^2 \] ### Summary The difference of pressure between the inside and outside of the spherical drop is \(140 \text{ N/m}^2\). ---
