Q
What is LaPlaces’s Law?
A
P=2γ / r
where-
γ (gamma) is the surface tension
r is the radius of the sphere
P is the laplace pressure or the pressure difference inside and outside the curved fluid surface.
So the pressure inside an elastic sphere is inversely proportional to the radius, provided the surface tension remains stable.
