On the heating water, bubbles being formed at the bottom of the vessel detach and rise. Take the bubbles to be spheres of radius R and making a circular contact of radius r with the bottom of the vessel. If r < < R and the surface tension of water is T, value of r just before bubbles detach is (density of water is ρw)
