Question

differentiate between surface tension and viscosity​

Answer 1

Answer:

Surface tension occurs due to difference in forces acting on fluid particles at surface and that below the surface. The particles below the surface are surrounded by like particles and cohesive force exists between them, while particles at surface experiences unlike forces cohesive forces from fluid particles from bottom and adhesive from from above the surface.

Viscosity represents the internal resistance of a fluid to motion.
