    The document describes a physics experiment to study the dependence of excess pressure on the concave side of a stretched spherical membrane on its radius. The experiment uses balloons of different sizes attached to an aluminum pipe. When the balloons are interconnected, the smaller balloon decreases in size while the larger one increases, showing that excess pressure varies inversely with radius. This supports the theory that surface tension causes liquid surfaces to attain a minimum area.

    ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

    I am very grateful to everyone who supported me to


    complete my project effectively and moreover on time.
    My deep acknowledgment and gratitude go to all those
    who helped me present these ideas well.
    I would like to express my gratitude to my teacher Mr.
    MUKESH SIR for giving us an opportunity to do this
    project and providing us all the valuable support and
    guidance which made us complete the project on time.
    AIM
    To study the dependence of excess pressure on
    concave side of a spherical stretched membrane
    on the radius.

    APPARATUS AND
    MATERIAL
    30CM lone aluminium pipe of diameter 1CM.
    A few balloons and a thread ball .
    BRIEF THEORY

    The liquid drops tend to be spherical due to


    surface tension. The drops retain their shape
    because an excess pressure acts on concave
    side of the liquid surface. The tendency of the
    free surface of a liquid to act as a stretched
    membrane and to attain the minimum
    possible surface area is called surface tension.
    The excess pressure on the concave side
    depends on the radius of the surface. The
    present project aims at studying the nature of
    this dependance.
    TECHNICAL NOTES

    Take the aluminium pipe and by means


    of a drilling machine , get a hole
    (about ½ cm) drilled in it.

    30𝑐𝑚

    Whole with diameter 0.5cm


    BRIEF PROCEDURE
    1. Tie a rubber balloon on either side of the pipe by
    means of thread. Holding the balloon at one end to
    close its neck, inflate the other balloon through the
    hole in the pipe.
    2. Now holding neck of the inflated balloon inflate the
    other balloon to a size clearly larger than the first as
    shown. Close the hole tightly with finger to
    prevent any leakage.
    3. If we interconnect the two balloons, what do we
    expect? Do the balloons attain equal size? Release the
    neck of balloon (1) keeping the hole tightly closed and
    observe the change .
    QUALITATIVE
    OBSERVATION
    The size of ballon 1 decreases whereas the size of
    balloon 2 increases.

    INFERENCE
    The size of the smaller balloon decreases further
    whereas that of larger ballon increases.
    The excess pressure inside the small balloon is larger
    indicating that its value varies inversely as the radius.
