Describe one method of determining the diameter of the oil drop
One can use a burette adjust it to a point where a drop start coming out from its tip
Note the intial reading
Count the number of drops released say like 50
Note the final reading
Taking the volume in cubic centimeter
Divide this volume by the number of drop to obtain the volume of one drop
Hence this is the volume of the drop
then use the formular v=(4/3)(22/7)R^3 where R is the radius of the diameter
multiple by 2 to get the diameter of the sphere
