- A spherical soap bubble inside an air chamber at pressure \(𝑃_0 = 10^5 \)Pa has a certain radius so that the excess pressure inside the bubble is Δ𝑃 = 144 Pa. Now, the chamber pressure is reduced to \(8𝑃_0/27\) so that the bubble radius and its excess pressure change. In this process, all the temperatures remain unchanged. Assume air to be an ideal gas and the excess pressure Δ𝑃 in both the cases to be much smaller than the chamber pressure. The new excess pressure Δ𝑃 in Pa is

Concepts Used:
Pressure
Pressure is defined as the force applied perpendicular to the surface of an object per unit area over which that force is distributed.
Everyday examples of pressure are:
- The working of the vacuum cleaner is an example of pressure. The fan inside the vacuum creates a low-pressure region which makes it easy to suck the dust particles inside the vacuum.
- Using a knife for cutting is another example of pressure. The area exposed from the knife is small but the pressure is high enough to cut the vegetables and fruits.
Formula:
When a force of ‘F’ Newton is applied perpendicularly to a surface area ‘A’, then the pressure exerted on the surface by the force is equal to the ratio of F to A. The formula for pressure (P) is:
P = F / A
Units of Pressure:
The SI unit of pressure is the pascal (Pa)
A pascal can be defined as a force of one newton applied over a surface area of a one-meter square.
