Surface tension is a force (N) acting over a surface area (A) having unit width.

So, Area= (1*m). Therefore, answer must be N/m.

Surface tension is a force applied on the surface to the length of the surface.

In this why the tensions are not measured in kg?

Does kg represent load?

Surface tension - force applied per unit distance, i.e kg/(s*s).

I think surface tension is force/area so it should be n/m.

Malvi said:   9 years ago
Surface tension = force /area.
So, Nm/m2.
=> N/m or J/m2.

Surface tension- force applied per unit distance so N/m.

Ravikumar said:   1 decade ago
Surface tensions force for unit distance.

Anoop said:   1 decade ago
Surface tension - force/length so N/m.

Force per unit lenth, ie = f/l = N/M.
