Statement I: Smaller drops of liquid resist deforming forces better than the larger drops. Statement II: Excess pressure inside a drop is directly proportional to its surface area.

Statement I: Smaller drops of liquid resist deforming forces better than the larger drops. Statement II: Excess pressure inside a drop is directly proportional to its surface area.

Statement-1: Two identical conincal pipes shown in figure have a drop of water. The water drop tens to move towards tapered end. Statement-2: Excess pressure is directed towards centre of curvature and inversely proportional to radius of curvature. Net excess pressure is therefore, directed towards tapered end. So the water drop tends to move towards tapered end.

The excess pressure inside a liquid drop of water will be maximum for the one having radius

The excess pressure inside a spherical drop of water is four times that of another drop. Then, their respective mass ratio is

A spherical drop of water has 2.5 mm radius. If the surface tension of water is 70 xx 10^(-3) N m^(-1) , then the excess pressure inside the drop is

Two liquid drop have diameters of 1 cm and 1.5 cm. The ratio of excess pressures inside them is

Assertion: A lighter gas diffuses more rapidly than heavier gas. Reason: At a given temperature and pressure, the rate of diffusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of its density.

Assertion : Small water drops are sperical while bigger water drops are not. Reason : In small water drops surface tension forces dominate while in bigger water drops gravity forces dominate.
