Question

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:, Energy 4 V T 1 r - 1 R is released, Energy = 3 V T 1 r + 1 R is released, Energy = 3 V T 1 r - 1 R is released, Energy is neither released nor absorbed
