Question

Define surface tension. Given it's unit and dimensions. ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Hey!! Here is your answer......

• Surface tension is defined as the ratio of the surface force (F) to the length (L) along which the force acts.

• It's unit is newtons per metre.

• The dimensions are MT raised to the power -2.

Hope it helps you.

Answer 2

Surface tension is defined as the tendency of the liquid surface at rest to shrink to the minimum possible surface area.

Explanation:

• Surface tension is a force in which a layer of a liquid behaves like a flexible sheet. It is the property of the surface of the liquid which allows resisting the external force, due to the water molecule's cohesiveness.
• The strength of surface tension is based on the strength of the cohesive force.
• The unit of surface tension is NEWTONS PER METER
• The Dimension of surface tension is MT−2.
