A large number of liquid drops each of radius r coalesce to form a single spherical drop of radius R. The energy released in the process is converted into the kinetic energy of the big drop formed. If ρ and σ are the density and surface tension of the big drop, then its speed is
  1. \(\sqrt{\frac{6 \sigma}{\rho}\left(\frac{1}{r}-\frac{1}{R}\right)}\)
  2. \(\sqrt{\frac{\sigma}{\rho}\left(\frac{1}{r}-\frac{1}{R}\right)}\)
  3. \(\sqrt{\frac{2 \sigma}{\rho}\left(\frac{1}{r}-\frac{1}{R}\right)}\)
  4. \(\sqrt{\frac{4 \sigma}{\rho}\left(\frac{1}{r}-\frac{1}{R}\right)}\)

Answer

(A) 6 ( 1 r - 1 R )
