  • surface tension of a liquid is independent of the area of the surface because force is just product of mass and acceleration.

  • so, surface tension of a liquid is independent of the area of surface. The liquid molecules which are below the surface are in equilibrium.

  • So, a force is originated to balance the surface molecules which is equal but opposite in direction to the downward force.

HEY I'M HERE WITH YOUR ANSWER:-

We know, the force acting per unit length at the interface between the plane of a liquid and any other surface is known as surface tension.

from definition, surface tension = force/length

it is also clear that force doesn't depend on area of the surface. because force is just product of mass and acceleration. so, surface tension of a liquid is independent of the area of surface.
