A spherical drop of liquid splits into 1000 identical spherical drops. If u$$_\mathrm{i}$$ is the surface energy of the original drop and u$$_\mathrm{f}$$ is the total surface energy of the resulting drops, the (ignoring evaporation), $${{{u_f}} \over {{u_i}}} = \left( {{{10} \over x}} \right)$$. Then value of x is ____________ :
