Answer:
Work done by this force, dW = F′dx = 2Tldx. But, 2ldx = dA = increase in the area of two surfaces of the film. ... Hence, surface tension = surface energy per unit area. Thus, surface tension is equal to the mechanical work done per unit surface area of the liquid, which is also called surface energy.
