A soap bubble was slowly enlarged from a radius of 4cm to 6cm. The amount of work necessary for enlargement was 1.5 x 10^-4 joules. Calculate the surface tension of the soap bubble.​

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]T=3*10^-3 N/m[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Radius :

[tex]R_1=4=>0.04\\\\R_2=6=>0.06[/tex]

Work [tex]W=1.5 * 10^{-4}[/tex]

Generally the equation for Work done  is mathematically given by

[tex]W=TdA[/tex]

Where

[tex]dA=A_2-A_1\\\\dA=(2 \pi r_2^2)(2 \pi r_1^2)[/tex]

[tex]dA=8 \pi*(r_2^2-r_1^2)\\\\dA=8*3.142*(0.06^2-0.04^2)[/tex]

[tex]dA=0.050m^2[/tex]

Therefore

[tex]W=TdA[/tex]

[tex]T=\frac{1.5 * 10^{-4}}{0.05m^2}[/tex]

[tex]T=3*10^-3 N/m[/tex]
