The excess pressure inside a liquid drop is 500 Nm$-$2. If the radius of the drop is 2 mm, the surface tension of liquid is x $\times$ 10$-$3 Nm$-$1. The value of x is _____________.
Answer (integer)
500
Solution
$\mathrm{P}=\mathrm{P}_{0}+\frac{2 T}{R} $
<br/><br/>$\Rightarrow P-P_{0}=\frac{2 T}{R}$
<br/><br/>$$
\begin{aligned}
&500=\frac{2 \times T}{2 \times 10^{-3}} \\\\
&T=500 \times 10^{-3} \\\\
&\text { So, } x=500
\end{aligned}
$$
