A bubble having surface tension T and radius R is formed on a ring radius v as shown. The air molecule collies perpendicularly with the wall of the bubble and stops. Calculate the radius at which the bubble separates from the ring.

Hello Student,
Please find the answer to your question
KEY CONCEPT :
When the force due to excess pressure in the bubble equals the force of air striking at the bubble, the bubble will detach from the ring.
∴ ρAv2 = 4T / R x A ⇒ R = 4T / ρv2
