This problem involves the formation of surfaces which, in a thermodynamic context, involves the performance of work. What is the amount of work that must be done on $3$ cm$3$ of water to convert the water into a uniform spray of droplets which are $2$ microns in diameter. Does your result depend on the initial shape of the $1$ cm$3$ body of water? The surface tension of the water is $0\mathrm{.}073$ N$/$m$.$ Would you characterize this as a large quantity? Why?
