Question 6: easy

Two unequal soap bubbles are formed one on each side of a tube closed in the middle by a tap. What happens when the tap is opened to put the two bubbles in communication ?

1. No air passes in any direction as the pressure are same on two sides of the tap  
2. Large bubble shrinks and smaller bubble increases in size till they become equal in size
3. Smaller bubble gradually collapses and the bigger one increase in size
4. None of the above

Question 7: easy

The radii of the two columns in U tube are r1 and r2 (r1 > r2). When a liquid of density \[\rho\] (angle of contact is 0ΒΊ) is filled in it, the level difference of liquid in two arms is h. The surface tension of liquid is (g = acceleration due to gravity):

1. \[\frac{\rho ghr_{1}r_{2}}{2(r_{1}-r_{2})}\]
2. \[\frac{\rho gh(r_{1}-r_{2})}{2r_{1}r_{2}}\]
3. \[\frac{2 (r_{2}-r_{1})}{\rho ghr_{1}r_{2}}\]
4. \[\frac{\rho gh}{2(r_{2}-r_{1})}\]
