Derive Laplace's law for a spherical membrane.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Laplace's law for a spherical membrane : In the case of a small spherical drop of radius R, the excess pressure inside the drop is given by `p-p_(0)=(2T)/(R )`, where p is the pressure inside the liquid drop, `p_(0)` is the pressure outside the liquid drop and T is the surface tension of the liquid.
