If drops of a liquid, each with surface energy join to form a single drop, then


Important Questions on Surface Tension
The surface energy of a liquid drop is u. If it is split into equal droplets, then its surface energy becomes

The work done in splitting a drop of water of Radius into Identical droplets are (S.T. of water is )

A spherical liquid drop of the radius is divided into eight equal droplets. If the surface tension is , then the work done in this process will be

A drop of liquid of diameter Breaks up into Identical droplets. The change in energy is nearly (S.T. of liquid)

Let Be surface tension between solid and air, Be the surface tension between solid and liquid and Be the surface tension between liquid and air. Then in equilibrium, for a drop of liquid on a clean glass plate, the relation is ( Is the angle of contact)

The excess pressure in a soap bubble of diameter and surface tension is
