1. Deduce an expression for the excess pressure inside a soap bubble. 3

2. Derive formula for the rise of water in capillary tube. 3
3. An air bubble of radius 0.1mm is moving upwards in water with a velocity of 0.35
cm/s. If the density of water is 1.0 x 103 kg/m3 and gravitational acceleration is
9.8m/s2 and the density of the air is negligible, then find out the coefficient of viscosity
