Calculate Surface Tension



Formula

The formula to calculate the surface tension is:

\[ \gamma = \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{F}{L} \]

Where:

Surface Tension Definition

Surface tension is defined as the force exerted on the surface of an object within a liquid.

Surface Tension Example

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.
