A water drop of diameter 2 cm is broken into 64 equal droplets. The surface tension of water is 0.075 N/m. In this process the gain in surface energy will be :
- A2.8 10 4 J
- B1.5 10 3 J
- C1.9 10 4 J
- D9.4 10 5 J

Correct answer: A
- Given data
- Diameter of original drop
- So, radius of original drop:
- Number of छोटे droplets:
- Surface tension of water:
- Find radius of each small droplet
Since volume is conserved,
So,
Thus,
- Initial surface area
Original drop is one sphere, so
- Final surface area
There are droplets, each of radius :
Using ,
- Increase in surface area
Now substitute :
- Gain in surface energy
Surface energy gained:
Now,
So,
Using ,
Therefore,
- Option check
- A: ✅
- B: ❌
- C: ❌
- D: ❌
Hence, the correct option is A.
