b) The molecules near the surface of a drop experience a resultant pull inwards due to surface tension. Because of this inward pull, the pressure inside is greater than the outside. Due to the forces of surface tension, the drop tends to contract. But due to excess inside pressure, the drop tends to expand. When the drop is in equilibrium, these two forces will be equal and opposite.
