Question

State the C.G.S. and SI Unit of surface tension.

Answer 1

Dear Anushree,

◆ Surface tension -

- Surface tension is the property of a liquid surface to act as stretched elastic membrane.

- Fluid surface tends to shrink surface area to minimum.

# Units of surface tension -

- SI unit of surface energy is Newton/metre (N/m).

- CGS unit of surface tension is Dyne/centimetre is dyn/cm.

Hope this helps you. Thanks for asking..

Answer 2

Explanation:

Explanation:The force per unit length perpandicular to the line drawn in the surface of the liquid is the surface tension.It SI unit is Newton per meter, and it's CGS unit is dyne per centimetre.
