A certain number of spherical drops of a liquid of radius 'r' coalesce to form a single drop of radius 'R' and volume 'V'. If 'T' is the surface tension of the liquid, then:
Energy is neither released nor absorbed.
As discussed
Surface Energy -
It is defined as the amount of work done in increasing the area of the liquid against surface tension.
-
As surface area decreases so energy is released energy released =
