The bubble will be in equilibrium at a depth h if excess pressure \mathrm{\frac{2 \sigma}{r}=h \rho g} or \mathrm{h=\frac{2 \sigma}{r \sigma g}.} Given \mathrm{\sigma =7.0 \times 10^{-2} \mathrm{Nm}^{-1}, r=0.7 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~m}, \rho=10^3 \mathrm{~kg} \mathrm{~m}^{-3}} and \mathrm{g=10 \mathrm{~ms}^{-2}.} Using these values, we get \mathrm{h=4 \times 10^{-2} \mathrm{~m}=4 \mathrm{~cm}}, which is choice (c).
