Question

What is the excess pressure inside an ethanol drop of radius 2.2mm at 20∘C? (Surface tension = 0.0227N/m)

Options

Choose one · Correct answer highlighted

Explanation

Excess pressure: ΔP = 2Sr. S = 0.0227N/m, r = 2.2×10−3m. ΔP = 2×0.02272.2×10−3 = 20.64Pa. As per NCERT, applying relevant law/formula with correct units and sign convention leads to 22 Pa. This satisfies dimensional consistency and physical conditions given, so option C is scientifically correct.
