derive on expression for excess pressure inside a liquid drop
Answers
Explanation:
Consider a liquid drop of radius R and surface tension T. Due to surface tension, the molecules on the surface film experience the net force in the inward direction normal to the surface. Therefore there is more pressure inside than outside. ... The above expression gives us the pressure inside a liquid drop.

Step by Step Answer :-
The net upward force on the top hemisphere of the liquid is just the pressure difference times the area of the equatorial circle :
F upward=(p'1 - p0)πr2 where F upward
= upward force on the liquid due to air-currents;
= upward force on the liquid due to air-currents;
P 1′
= Final pressure; P 0
= Initial pressure; r= radius of the drop, assuming it to be spherical.
The surface tension force downward around circle is equal to the surface tension of the circumference, since only one surface contributed to the force :
Thus, F
downward
=T(2πr) where, T= surface tension.
This gives, P 1 −P = 2T
r
which represents the excess pressure inside the liquid drop.
