Question

What is Surface Tension?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Surface tension is the force acting per unit length..

T= F / L

and it is the tendency of a liquid to shrink in a minimum possible area....

Answer 2

hi mate ,

• »»»» the tension of the surface film : of a liquid caused by the attraction of the particles in the surface layer by the bulk of the liquid, which tends to minimize surface area.

• »»»»Surface Tension: "The property of the surface of a liquid that allows it to resist an external force, due to the cohesive nature of its molecules.
• »»»»" It seems to defy the laws of physics, but a paper clip made of steel can indeed float on the water surface.

• »»»»newton per meter
• newton per meterAnswer: Surface tension, usually represented by the symbol σ, is measured in force per unit length.
• Its SI unit is newton per meter but the cgs unit of dyne per centimeter is also used.
