The formula to calculate the surface tension is:
\[ \gamma = \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{F}{L} \]
Where:
Surface tension is defined as the force exerted on the surface of an object within a liquid.
Consider an example where:
Using the formula to calculate the Surface Tension:
\[ \gamma = \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{10}{2} = \frac{1}{2} \times 5 = 2.5 \text{ N/m} \]
This means that the surface tension for this example is approximately 2.5 N/m.
