Problem P. 4600. (January 2014)

P. 4600. A soap bubble is blown with a relatively short drinking straw of diameter d, and then the bubble is left to deflate through the same straw. In one case when the diameter of the bubble was D the time during which the bubble deflated was 8 seconds. Estimate the time during which a bubble deflates

a) if its diameter is also D, and it is deflated through a wider straw of diameter 2d;

b) through a straw of diameter d, if its greatest diameter was 2D?
