EASY
A soap bubble of radius R is blown. After heating the solution, a second bubble of radius 2R is blown. The work required to blow the second bubble in comparison to that required for the first bubble is
EASY
A glass capillary tube is of the shape of a truncated cone with an apex angle α so that its two ends have cross-sections of different radii. When dipped in water vertically, the water rises in it to a height h, where the radius of its cross-section is b. If the surface tension of water is S, its density is ρ, and its contact angle with glass is θ, then the value of h will be (g is the acceleration due to gravity)
