A soap bubble is being blown at the end of a very narrow tube of radius b. Air (density ρ) moves with a velocity ‘v’ inside the tube and comes to rest inside the bubble. The surface tension of the soap solution is T. After some time the bubble, having grown to a radius ‘r’, separates from the tube. Find the value of ‘r’. Assume that r>>b so that you can consider the air to be falling normally on the bubble’s surface.
The bubble will separate from the tube when thrust force exerted by the air is equal to the force due to excess pressure.
