Surface Tension and Viscosity

Question 1:

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 ?

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

Question 2:

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 0º) 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):-

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

Question 4:

The terminal velocity of a copper ball of radius 2.0 mm falling through a tank of oil at 20°C is 6.5 cms–1. Calculate the viscosity of the oil at 20°C. (Density of oil is \[1.7\times 10^{3}kgm^{-3}\] and density of copper is

\[8.9\times 10^{3}kgm^{-3}\]) :-

\[0.69 kg m^{-1} s^{-1}\]
\[0.79 kg m^{-1} s^{-1}\]
\[0.29 kg m^{-1} s^{-1}\]
\[0.99 kg m^{-1} s^{-1}\]
