Correct answer: 7
- Excess pressure of a soap bubble
For a soap bubble, the excess pressure is
where is surface tension and is radius of the bubble.
- Pressure balanced by liquid column
A liquid column of height balances this excess pressure, so
Given:
- Substitute values
First calculate the left side:
So,
- Solve for radius
- Find diameter
Final Answer
The diameter of the soap bubble is .
