JEE MAIN - Physics (2020 - 9th January Evening Slot - No. 21)

A small spherical droplet of density d is floating exactly half immersed in a liquid of density $$\rho $$ and surface tension T. The radius of the droplet is (take note that the surface tension applies an upward force on the droplet) :
$$r = \sqrt {{T \over {\left( {d - \rho } \right)g}}} $$
$$r = \sqrt {{{2T} \over {3\left( {d + \rho } \right)g}}} $$
$$r = \sqrt {{T \over {\left( {d + \rho } \right)g}}} $$
$$r = \sqrt {{{3T} \over {\left( {2d - \rho } \right)g}}} $$

Explanation

JEE Main 2020 (Online) 9th January Evening Slot Physics - Properties of Matter Question 198 English Explanation

$$T.2\pi r + {2 \over 3}\pi {r^3}\rho g = {4 \over 3}\pi {r^3}dg$$

$$ \Rightarrow $$ T = $${{{r^2}} \over 3}\left( {2d - \rho } \right)g$$

$$ \Rightarrow $$ r = $$\sqrt {{{3T} \over {\left( {2d - \rho } \right)g}}} $$
