A hollow sphere has a small hole in it

A hollow sphere which has a small hole in it is immersed in water to a depth of 40 cm before any water penetrates into it

Answered by admin @



radius of hole is 0.00375 cm

your full question is -> A canister has a small hole at its bottom. Water penetrates into the cylinder when its base is at a depth of 40 cm from the surface of water. If surface tension of water is 73.5 dyne/cm, find the radius of the hole: a) 0.00375 cm b) 0.375 cm c) 3.75 cm d) 37.5 cm

solution : at equilibrium,

excess pressure = hydraulic pressure

⇒2T/r = hρg

where, T is surface tension, r is radius of hole , h is depth , ρ is density and g is acceleration due to gravity.

given, T = 73.5 Dyne/cm , h = 40cm, g = 980 cm/s² and ρ = 1g/cm³

then, 2 × 73.5/r = 40 × 1 × 980

r = 147/(40 × 980) = 0.00375 cm

hence, radius of hole is 0.00375 cm.
