Question

What is the excess pressure inside a water drop of radius 2.5mm at 100∘C? (Surface tension = 0.3×10−3N/m)

Options

Choose one · Correct answer highlighted

Explanation

Excess pressure: ΔP = 2Sr. S = 0.3×10−3N/m, r = 2.5×10−3m. ΔP = 2×0.3×10−32.5×10−3 = 0.24Pa. As per NCERT, applying relevant law/formula with correct units and sign convention leads to 0.24 Pa. This satisfies dimensional consistency and physical conditions given, so option B is scientifically correct.
