Question

Explain why surface tension of a liquid is independent of the area of the surface

Answer 1

because after it there is gas and before it there is solid

Answer 2

Hey mate,

◆ Surface tension -
- It is the force acting per unit length at the interface between the plane of a liquid and any other surface.
Surface tension = Force / length
- The formula doesn't concern with the area of liquid surface.
- Also, this force is independent of the area of the liquid surface.
- Hence, surface tension is also independent of the area of the liquid surface.
