The buoyancy force acting on the gas bubble is (Assume R is the universal gas constant)- A
- B
- C
- D
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: B
-
Pressure on the bubble at height from the bottom
If the liquid height is , then the depth of the bubble below the free surface is . Hence pressure on the bubble is
At the bottom ,
-
Adiabatic relation for the gas inside the bubble
The bubble does not exchange heat with liquid, so the process is adiabatic:
Also, for an ideal gas,
From adiabatic relation and ideal gas law, we can use or equivalently
A more direct useful result is:
Since ,
Therefore,
So,
-
Volume of the bubble at height
Using ideal gas equation,
Substitute :
Rearranging,
Since we get
-
Buoyancy force
Buoyant force is
Therefore,
-
Compare with options
This exactly matches Option B:
-
Comparison with stored correct answer
Stored correct answer is B, which matches the derived result.
