Step 1
1 of 2

(a) Calculate the pressure difference between outside and inside of the bubble,

ΔP=4σrΔP=40.080.00015ΔP=2133.33 N/m3\begin{align*} &\Delta P = \frac{4 \sigma}{r}\\ &\Delta P = \frac{4 \cdot 0.08}{0.00015}\\ &\Delta P = 2133.33 \text{ N/m}^3\\ \end{align*}

(b) Calculate the pressure difference between outside and inside of the bubble,

ΔP=4σrΔP=40.120.00015ΔP=3200 N/m3\begin{align*} &\Delta P = \frac{4 \sigma}{r}\\ &\Delta P = \frac{4 \cdot 0.12}{0.00015}\\ &\Delta P = 3200 \text{ N/m}^3\\ \end{align*}
