Calculate Surface Tension





Formula

The formula to calculate Surface Tension (Ļƒ) is:

\[ \sigma = \frac{F}{L} \]

Where:

Definition

Surface Tension of Liquid is linked to the liquid surface. It is a physical property of liquids, in which the molecules are drawn onto every side.

Force on Fluid Element is the sum of pressure and shear forces acting on it within a fluid system.

Length is the measurement or extent of something from end to end.

How to calculate Surface Tension

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ \sigma = \frac{F}{L} \]

Evaluating:

\[ \sigma = \frac{2.5}{3} \]

The Surface Tension is 0.833333333333333 Newton per Meter.
