Answer 1

Answer:

THIS WILL. HELP U

Explanation:

Surface tension is the tendency of fluid surfaces to shrink into the minimum surface area possible. Surface tensionallows insects (e.g. water striders), usually denser than water, to float and slide on a water surface.

Answer 2

hi mate ,

• 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

• »»»»Answer: 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.
