SURFACE TENSION
Given: Assumption:
Pout = 101 kN/m2 The water droplet is spherical.
𝜎 = 0.0718 N/m
d = 5x10-5 m

Required: Pin

Solution:
𝝈
∆𝑷=𝟒
𝒅
𝜎 4σ
Pin – Pout = 4 → Pin = +Pout
𝑑 d
N 1 kN
4(0.0718 ∙ )
m 1000 N
Pin = -5 + 101 kN/m2
5x10 m

Pin = 5.744 kN/m2 + 101 kN/m2

Pin = 106.744 kN/m2

Answer: The pressure within the droplets at 20°C is 106.744 kN/m2
