A hollow sphere has a small hole in it. On lowering the sphere in a tank of water, it is observed that water enters into the hollow sphere at a depth of 40 cm below the surface. Surface tension of water is7 xx 10 ^(-2) N//m. The diameter of the hole is approximately:

Answer»

0.21 MM
0.14 mm
0.07 mm
0.7 mm

Solution :Force due to SURFACE TENSION balancing the force due to pressure, hence
`1000xx10xx(40)/(100)=(2sigma)/(R)=(2xx7xx10^(-2))/(R)Rightarrow2R=0.07mm`
