Fluid Mechanics Viscosity Question 209

Question: When a large bubble rises from the bottom of a lake to the surface. Its radius doubles. If atmospheric pressure is equal to that of column of water height H, then the depth of lake is [AIIMS 1995; AFMC 1997]

Options:

A)H

B)2H

C)7H

D)8H

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

$ P_{1}V_{1}=P_{2}V_{2} $ Þ $ (P_{0}+h+g)\times \frac{4}{3}\pi r^{3} $ =$ P_{0}\times \frac{4}{3}\pi {{(2r)}^{3}} $ Where, h = depth of lake Þ $ h\rho g=7P_{0} $ Þ $ h=7\times \frac{H\rho g}{\rho g}=7H. $
