We have (see figure)
p1 - p3 = 2SR1 and
p2 - p4 = 2SR2
Also, p3 = p4 = patm and
p2 = p1 + Ïgh
So we get
Ïgh = 2S (1R2 - 1R1)
which gives the difference in curvatures as
R1 - R2 = ÏghR1R22S
i have solved this problem and got same answer as given but in intermediate steps my approach was different:
i took Pbottom of drop=Ptop of drop+pgh
in book they took Ptop=Pbottom of drop+pgh
which is correct???
