Question

Why surface tension of a liquid is independent of tha area of the surface?

Answer 1

Answer: Surface tension is defined as the force acting per unit length on either side of a imaginary line drawn tangentially on the surface of a liquid.As the force is independent of area of liquid surface taken,so is the surface tension.

Answer 2

$\huge \fbox \red{Answer}$

Surface tension is defined as the attraction of molecules on a liquid's surface. This is the tangential force acting at a liquid's interface with air. The interface boundary is formed by the difference in attractions between liquids and gases. Surface tension is measured in units.
