Question 16-19 each carry 5 marks
01 Write unit for surface tension ? explain it?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Meter or N/m.

Explanation:

Surface Tension is actually a property of a fluid surface. Surface Tension is more or less like the space-time curvature whereby the fluid surface to behaves like it is stretched.

In mathematical terms, surface tension is defined as the force per unit length acting on the surface of any fluid.

Surface Tension = Force / Length

From the expression above, one can see that

si unit of Surface tension is newton/meter ( N/m).

It’s dimension is MT^-2.

Or ; in terms of energy;

Energy per unit area is known as surface tension.

S.I unit —-J/m^2
