Cohesion and Adhesion in Liquids: Surface Tension and Capillary Action (Problem 54)
What is the pressure inside an alveolus having a radius of 2.50×10−4m if the surface tension of the fluid-lined wall is the same as for soapy water? You may assume the pressure is the same as that created by a spherical bubble.
