Short Answer

Expert verified
The work done in blowing a soap bubble of 10 cm radius is 75.36 × 10⁻⁴ Joule (option A). This is found by calculating the change in surface area and using the given surface tension of the soap solution to determine the work done, applying the formula \(W = T \Delta A\).

Step by step solution

01

Recall the formula for the work done

The formula for the work done in inflating a bubble is: \[W = T \Delta A\] where \(W\) is the work done, \(T\) is the surface tension, and \(\Delta A\) is the change in surface area of the bubble. Step 2: Calculate the change in surface area
02

Calculate the change in surface area

The surface area of a sphere is given by the formula \(A = 4\pi r^2\), where \(r\) is the radius. For a soap bubble, we need to consider both the inside and outside surfaces, so the total surface area of a soap bubble is \(A_\text{total} = 2(4\pi r^2) = 8\pi r^2\). The change in surface area after inflating the soap bubble to a radius of \(10 \mathrm{~cm}\) is: \(\Delta A = A_\text{final} - A_\text{initial}\) Since the initial surface area is zero (\(A_\text{initial}=0\)), the change in surface area is equal to the total surface area of the soap bubble: \(\Delta A = 8\pi r^2\) Substitute the given radius, \(r = 10 \mathrm{~cm}\), into the formula: \(\Delta A = 8\pi (10)^2 \mathrm{cm}^2\) \(\Delta A = 800\pi \mathrm{~cm^2}\) Step 3: Calculate the work done in blowing the soap bubble
03

Calculate the work done

Use the formula for the work done, and substitute the given surface tension, \(T = \frac{3}{100} \mathrm{N/m}\), and the calculated change in surface area into the formula: \(W = T \Delta A\) \[W = \left(\frac{3}{100}\mathrm{N/m}\right)(800\pi \mathrm{~cm^2})\] To convert from \(\mathrm{cm^2}\) to \(\mathrm{m^2}\), we need to multiply by \(\frac{1}{10,000}\): \[W = \left(\frac{3}{100}\mathrm{N/m}\right)(800\pi \cdot \frac{1}{10,000} \mathrm{~m^2})\] \[W = \frac{3}{100} \cdot \frac{800\pi}{10,000} \mathrm{N} \cdot \mathrm{m}\] Simplify the expression: \[W = \frac{12 \pi}{5} \mathrm{Nm}\] Step 4: Convert the work done into the desired units
04

Convert the units

Convert the result from \(\mathrm{Nm}\) (Joules) to \(\times 10^{-4}\) Joules: \[W = \frac{12 \pi}{5} \mathrm{Nm} \times \frac{1}{10^{-4}}\] \[W = 75.36 \times 10^{-4} \mathrm{J}\] The work done in blowing the soap bubble is 75.36 × 10⁻⁴ Joule, which corresponds to option (A).
