A soap bubble, having a radius of \(1~\text{mm}\), is blown from a detergent solution having a surface tension of \(2.5\times 10^{-2}~\text{N/m}\). The pressure inside the bubble equals at a point \(Z_0\) below the free surface of the water in a container. Taking \(g = 10~\text{m/s}^{2}\), the density of water \(= 10^{3}~\text{kg/m}^3\), the value of \(Z_0\) is:
1. \(0.5~\text{cm}\)
2. \(100~\text{cm}\)
3. \(10~\text{cm}\)
4. \(1~\text{cm}\)

A certain number of spherical drops of a liquid of radius \({r}\) coalesce to form a single drop of radius \({R}\) and volume \({V}.\) If \({T}\) is the surface tension of the liquid, then:

1. the energy \(= 4{VT}\left( \frac{1}{{r}} - \frac{1}{{R}}\right)\) is released.
2. the energy \(={ 3{VT}\left( \frac{1}{{r}} + \frac{1}{{R}}\right)}\) is released.
3. the energy \(={ 3{VT}\left( \frac{1}{{r}} - \frac{1}{{R}}\right)}\) is released.
4. the energy is neither released nor absorbed.
