2.2 Find the numerical value of ρaTaρiTi−1 using γ=0.0250Nm−1,R0=1.00cm, and Pa=1.013×105Nm−2.
Given constants:
An Electrified Soap Bubble
A spherical soap bubble with internal air density ρi, temperature Ti and radius R0 is surrounded by air with density ρa, atmospheric pressure Pa and temperature Ta. The soap film has surface tension γ, density ρs and thickness t. The mass and the surface tension of the soap do not change with the temperature. Assume that R0≫t.
The increase in energy, dE, that is needed to increase the surface area of a soap-air interface by dA, is given by dE=γdA where γ is the surface tension of the film.
