Question

In a cylinder-piston arrangement, air is under a pressure P₁. A soap bubble of radius r lies inside the cylinder, soap bubble has surface tension T. The radius of soap bubble is to be reduced to half, The new pressure P₂ to which air should be compressed isothermally. (Assume r is very small as compared to height of cylinder)

$4 P_{1} + \frac{12 T}{r}$

$8 P_{1} + \frac{24 T}{r}$

$P_{1} + \frac{8 T}{r}$

$P_{1} + \frac{4 T}{r}$

$P = P_{1} + \frac{4 s}{r}$

$(P_{1} + \frac{4 S}{r}) \times (\frac{4}{3} {πr}^{3}) = (P_{2} + \frac{8 S}{r}) (\frac{4}{3} π \times {(\frac{r}{2})}^{3})$

$P_{2} + \frac{8 S}{r} = 8 P_{1} + \frac{32 S}{r}$

$P_{2} = 8 P_{1} + \frac{24 S}{r}$
