Properties of Matter 4 Question 16
18. A soap bubble is being blown at the end of very narrow tube of radius . Air (density ) moves with a velocity inside the tube and comes to rest inside the bubble. The surface tension of the soap solution is . After sometime the bubble, having grown to radius separates from the tube. Find the value of . Assume that so, that you can consider the air to be falling normally on the bubble’s surface.

Answer:
Correct Answer: 18.
Solution:
- Surface Tension force
Mass of the air per second entering the bubble
Momentum of air per second
The bubble will separate from the tube when force due to moving air becomes equal to the surface tension force inside the bubble.
