4.5.17. Determine the maximum and minimum pressure inside a spherical liquid droplet immersed in another liquid. The distance from the center of the droplet to the free surface of the liquid is $h$, the radius of the droplet is $R$, the density of both liquids is $\rho$, and the surface tension at the liquid-liquid interface is $\sigma$.
Solution
The pressure inside the droplet is the sum of the Laplace pressure and the pressure of the surrounding liquid. Let $x$ be the distance from the liquid surface to the point inside the droplet,then the pressure inside the droplet:
