1. A sppherical soaap bubble has an insidee radius R, a film thickn ness t, and a surface ten
nsion σ.
Derrive a formuula for the pressure withhin the bubb ble relative to the outsiide atmosphheric
ubble with a 4 mm radiius? Assume σ is
presssure. Whatt is the presssure differennce for a bu
the same as forr pure waterr. [Answer: Δp4mm rad = 73.0 N/m2]

5. A taank is fittedd with a man nometer on the side, as shown. The liquid in tthe bottom of o the
tankk and in the manometerr has a speccific gravity y (S) of 3.0. The depth oof this botto
om
liquuid is 20 cm
m. A 15 cm layer of watter lies on to op of the bo
ottom liquidd. Find the position
p
of thhe liquid suurface in thee manometeer. [Answer:: Δh = 5.00 cm]

6. As sshown, a load of mass 5 kg is situaated on a piiston of diammeter D1 = 120 mm. Th he
piston rides on a reservoir of oil of deepth h1 = 422 mm and sp pecific gravvity S = 0.8. The
reseervoir is connnected to a round tubee of diameteer D2 = 5 mmm and oil riises in the tu
ube to
heigght h2. Find h2. Assumee the oil in tthe tube is open
o to atmosphere andd neglect th he
weight of the piston.
p [Answer: h2 = 0..553 m]
