Answer: 60 Pa.
- A 15 Pa
- B 30 Pa
- C 60 Pa
- D 120 Pa
Correct answer: C. 60 Pa
Explanation: For a soap bubble (two surfaces), excess pressure = 4T/r = 4·0.03/0.002 = 60 Pa.
Since the same volume of fluid must pass every cross-section per second (continuity), the fluid speeds up where the pipe narrows; Bernoulli's equation then says this faster-moving fluid has lower pressure - the principle behind a venturi meter and an aircraft wing's lift.
